Robb Family Maple Sugar Farm, Brattleboro, Vermont

 We had one other van spend the night in the field by the hops at Bigelow Brewery. We got an early start and had sunny skies driving through Maine and New Hampshire. We stopped at a roadside table for a picnic lunch. We searched for awhile for Grayton Farms Cheese Shoppe and finally found it after visiting another new Vermont Shopping Center. We cruised by the Creamery Covered Bridge on our return trip to Robb Family Maple Sugar Farm. We were invited to camp under the shade of a huge maple tree in the driveway to the barn with a picnic table and chairs with fire pit right there. After sampling their light and dark syrups and purchasing maple candy and syrup, we set up our barbeque for dinner. By evening, the cattle and horse Diamond came over to greet us at the pasture fence. It was a quiet and cool evening sleeping under the stars.

We tossed Diamond an apple

As hot as it was, they all gathered around the salt lick
