May 4, 2013 Rail Trail Trek

View of Vermont Farm from Rail Trail
The weather demanded that one spend time outside today- clear blue skies, the brilliant sunlight making the new leaves sparkle with verdant hues. I went with some friends to hike a portion of the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail, a 26.4 mile path through northern Vermont. What a delight to meander amid acres of rich farmland while listening to the calls of the birds and watching the minnows dart about in the small brook. Along our trek ,we came upon a driver's license that someone had dropped. Rather than leave it for the wind to carry away, I put it in my pack and mailed it to the address on the card. The owner will be surprised that it was located and returned, but it seems the right action to do. I will be heading out on this tranquil Rail Trail again; Vermont knows how to encourage their residents and visitors to enjoy the Green Mountain State!
