The trip report

Rain!!!
Well, when Mother Nature gives you lemons…make lemonade.
Thanks to Scott and Dave at Frog Meadow, we made a gallon of lemonade this weekend. Yes, because of the rain, we did not go kayaking as planned, but Michael, Darick, and some of the other guests at Frog Meadow explored the Vermont Cheese Company in Grafton, visited the sampling room at a local distillery, and poked around Brattleboro.
As expected, Dave provided us with great food and camaraderie at the BBQ Social on Saturday night and, of course, the wood fired hot tub was a welcome respite from the cool weather.
