Confessions of a G33k

A 120 minute photoblog

Because I had to take the damn laptop back to Small Dog, I figured I might as well blog the experience.

On route 89 going southbound. Today it is hot and hazy, which is why you can't see Mt. Mansfield in the background. Yes, I do know my windshield is dirty.

Exit for Stowe/Waterbury. You take a right at the exit.

Main Street, Waterbury, VT. The flags are for the 4th of July parade which will be held this weekend. Waterbury is a cool little town (unfortunately, I couldn't take good pictures of it as I had to dodge the pedestrians) where Main Street is busy with people. There are state offices located there, and from what I understand, provide a good number of jobs for residents.

After you leave the downtown part of Waterbury, you make a right onto Route 100. What is unique about this road is not only that you go uphill (towards Waitsfield) most of the way, but it is damn curvy. 11 miles of curves. Not bad during the summer, but I don't want to think about it in the winter.

Also, not only is the road curvy, but there is a certain type of person who bikes and runs along that road. And in fact, this afternoon, I saw the same guy running as I did last Friday. Can you say death wish? I knew you could.

Another wonderful curve. Yes, I know the windshield is dirty.

A local putt-putt place called "Lots of Balls". Sorry, just had to take a picture of the sign.

When I first went to buy the PowerBook in May, this field was covered with dandelions and I wished I had my camera at that time. Priceless.

If you travel long enough on the road, you hit a T intersection and make a right to continue on Rt. 100. At the T intersection there is a dairy farm (which I was unable to take a picture of). After traveling for a bit, this is the view you see to your left. There is the Mad River (I think) nearby that runs along the road. In this case, the field is blocking the view of the river.

A church.

Here we are. Making the left turn (and praying that no one barrels into me from the opposite direction) into the parking lot.

Dropped off the laptop, and got back onto 100. Made the turn at the dairy farm and going back towards Waterbury. You can barely see Camel's Hump in the background.

A view of a farm and Camel's Hump in the background.

This driveway is damn steep. I would hate to have to deal with it in the winter.

A picture of a dirt road. Just wanted to show you that since all of the secondary roads off of Rt. 100 are dirt. I forget the exact percentage, but in the rural areas like I was driving in, most of the roads are not paved. And people like it that way.

Gone through Waterbury and getting onto Rt. 89 North.

View of Camel's Hump from 89.
