We arrived at Winhall Brook
Campground in mid-afternoon on Saturday.
First impressions were good; the office staff were friendly and helpful.
The campground is close to Londonderry , VT in the Green Mountains ,
and it’s run by the Corps of Engineers. Most
of the campsites are on grass, in an open field, but by luck our site is tucked
back into trees, affording some cover from neighbors on either side.
It was a sunny afternoon,
mid-80’s, and many people were at the “beach” which has no sand but is a cluster
of small rocks along the river. The Winhall River
is a narrow, rocky river with swift current and
some deeper pools, and the beach is where the Winhall empties into the West River
“When weather permits”
because this Sunday morning, as I type, it is raining lightly. Fortunately we have plenty of books to read
and came prepared for some bad weather.
Cell service is very limited and I have not been able to check the
hourly weather report, but I am hopeful that we’ll be able to get out for a
walk along one of the hiking trails later in the day. Can’t complain about the temperatures: it was
69 when Ranger and I got in our early morning walk, just before the rain began.
