- tour of north america's largest granite quarry
- hike to paine mtn.
- dinner with will and tawnya in randolph
the tour at the Rock of Ages quarry was pretty awesome. the scale is impressive; they're the quarry who created a 12-foot tall statue of Pope JPII. They slab it off in 200-ton blocks. 80% of their granite is for gravesite memorials/masoleums, but they also make surface plates for industry. we got to hear (but not see because it was too far below us) a blast during the tour.
after eating lunch at a diner/movie-rental store (vermont cheddar burger with handcut fries), i decided out check out a nearby hike in the hiking guidebook i picked up in montpelier earlier this week. i got lost. or, more accurately, i lost the trail, and i'm still not sure exactly where. but i think there is another road i'd like to explore there, so i might take the bike back with me another day. i'll just have to be careful not to run over any frogs:
while i was out wandering, i heard back from tawnya, who is out in vermont for will's dad's wedding. twenty miles from northfield. so, they invited me for dinner and strawberry-rhubarb crisp and really, how could i say no?
