My husband challenged me to expand my Coffee Shop Without Walls horizons this year to include tributaries to Lake Champlain. For two years I've brewed coffee and tea on the shores of our beautiful lake, which has been great fun and is close to home, should I need to keep brew ups short and sweet on a frigid morning. I have a few more scenic spots in mind. My husband, however, is bored with my usual coffeeneuring routine and he wants to accompany me on more outings further afield, which, I am over-the-moon about, plus I will have a built in photographer, making documentation easier.
Or should make photography easier...except I made a coffeeneur's faux pas: at the car park as we assembled our bikes, I realized I'd left my camera and phone at home!
So, readers, use your imagination. Here's Miss Clementine loaded with my usual basket of goodies: camp stove, cup, tea, table cloth, chair, water bottle, and lock.

The Place: Long Trail Bridge
Date: Saturday, October 14.

Observation: Epic fail, forgetting a camera or phone, but we recovered by returning later to take photos and introduced our boys to the bridge.
Total Miles: 14
I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets her phone and/or camera before setting out. :) I think it happens to the best of us, even when we're trying to remember such things.
ReplyDeleteVermont always seems so beautiful in your photos this time of year. Definitely a place I'd like to visit one of these years during the autumn season.
Glad your coffeeneuring got off to a pleasant start - and it's fantastic that your husband plans to join you this year too! :)
My husband will join me on some of the fun, interesting rides, but not all. I set out the next day alone to take advantage of the warm weekend weather for #2.
DeleteNicely done cool bridge! I had my phone with my last year for one stop and forgot to take the obligatory bike in front of the coffee shop pic, I too went back the next day for a dramatic reenactment :-)
ReplyDeleteI got so excited - and to be fair, driving to a spot to start a coffeeneuring adventure is definite unusual - that I left my purse near the front door, but forgot about loading it into the car.
