Monday, July 22, 1929 - Barre, Vt.


We saw so much beautiful scenery today! It changed from rolling hills to mountains. The trees gradually changed to evergreens as we went up higher.  It was all very beautiful and splendid. After breakfast this morning we went past Manchester and then north to Waire to look up Mom’s ancestors. We found an old history of the town and several very interesting old characters. We stayed there until eleven o’clock. At noon we stopped at Concord for lunch. It was then about eleven thirty standard. They don’t have daylight saving here. We got into the Green Mt. about two thirty or three. We saw the Indian head and the great stone face or the Old man of the Mountain. We took a short ride to see Mt. Washington highest peak in New England. Then we started West for Vermont about four o’clock. The scenery was even more beautiful in this state we thought. We got some pure maple sugar along the road. We stopped again at the center of the industry. We didn’t quite reach our destination tonight but we’re only five miles from it.
