Manchester, Vermont

Vermont, vert mont - French for Green Mountains; not very green in February.

My first escapade on a frozen lake. Apparently, only 10 inches of ice is enough to support people, snowmobiles, even full-size trucks.

I found a slick curve of slippery ice, a track leftover from a snowmobile. Great for mini-ice skating.

I guess cracks are okay.

The Barnstead Inn
Every Inn needs a sugar shack, right? They're big on their maple products in Vermont - maple syrup, maple candy, maple latte.
