Today was a rock day. We went to the quarry, Rock of Ages in Barre Vermont. They are one of the largest quarriers and manufacturers of granite in North America. The granite mined here is a blue grey color which makes it perfect for monuments, industrial and architectural use.Then we worked on an earth cache. It was pretty time consuming. We had to go to 4 different quarries. Boy we sure know alot about granite now.
After the cache we went to Hope cemetery. They are local here and only accept headstones made from granite from Barre. We did a little shopping there.
These were my two favorites. Of course a mausoleum or chapel would be nice.
Once the shopping was complete we drove to Woodstock.We had lunch there and poked in out of the shops. Then home it was. It is still very hot today. They are on day three of record temps. But we have a hurricane headed for us! They expect it to hit land Friday sometime. By the time it gets here it will only be torrential rain. But then the arctic air will be able to return to the area. Then the changing of the colors will begin here, just in time for us to leave.
