Brattleboro, Vermont

Last night it rained ALL night. I mean it poured most of the night! And this morning, we were all set to just dig in our heels and stay another night, since we didn't feel like driving in the rain and on possibly flooded roads. But the campground had other plans for us. It turned out that this campground was ordered to evacuate, because the river was expected to overflow its banks. It's level was supposed to exceed the level it reached one year when the whole campground was under water!

So, in the pouring rain once again, we unhooked the utilities and hooked up the car and off we went again. The rain was not horrible -- just a light rain -- and there was none of the promised wind, to our relief.

We drove to Brattleboro, Vermont, arriving at about 3:30. We're at the KOA here -- a very nice campground.

And, it's NOT raining now! Moreover, it has not rained for a few hours. We drove into town when it was still raining, parking and walking down the hill into the artsy community for the Art Gallery Prowl, an event which they hold the first Friday evening of every month. Lucky us!

The Prowl was good fun, with all the downtown stores open, lots of galleries, nice music being played at several of the venues. We enjoyed a really fine time!

On our way home, we found a grocery store and restocked our fridge. We'd had to get rid of lots of food, which had frozen. The ruined stuff included all our fruits and vegetables. :/ But now we have new food. :)
