After staying two nights in Ticonderoga NY, we stayed in Hancock, VT on Friday night.  Hancock is a small town in a valley.  As so often with the small towns we've been passing through,the restaurants, cafes and/or places to lodge have closed and we have to go to the next town.  But even though this cafe looked run down, dusty and closed, it was open. The proprietor served us a nice meal and also told us of an inn across the street we could stay for the night.  So we did, and because we weren't using petroleum for our trip she gave us a discount on the cost for lodging.

On Saturday night a warmshowers.org host invited us to stay in her yurt.  Our host was not home so we had the use of her house to make supper and take showers and we slept in the yurt.  

Break time.

       

Nice mountain views.

Riding through the Appalachian Mountains, we are often riding along rivers and streams and finding waterfalls.
