Carriage driving weekend in Northeast Kingdom VT
Keeping the boys fit after all their Mt. Washington training, we went Aug. 5-7 to Danville Vermont, where we enjoyed miles and miles of quiet and scenic dirt roads.

The property has miles of double split-rail fencing, lavish barns and outbuildings, and gorgeous views
