Unpronounceable

Our final scenic drive took us north to Newport, a few miles away from the Canadian border.

 

I had to ask a native how to pronounce the name of Lake Memphremagog, which is part of the Northeast Kingdom.  Once polluted by heavy industry in both Vermont and Quebec, it now provides drinking water to 200,000 people.

Looks like these geese had begun migrating to warmer climes.

Those distant mountain peaks are in Quebec.  One is known as Mont Owl's Head.

We were the Dowell Owls in elementary school!

Transportation in Newport is varied.

Finding the perfect iconic red barn to photograph had eluded me for days.  This one would have to do!
