The town of Warren is outstanding. Prob...

Tim and forum viewers: I hope I am not putting my life on the line so to speak, for color/time estimations, :lol: so I am certainly open to anyone's corrections of my own guestimations!

Great Job!

Abby: thoroughly enjoyed your photos, especially Lake Willoughby, the moose and the "road running under the barn" per PWT's recommendation. The barn is on our itinerary, Tebbets Road I think it is, for fall. It's nice to see a picture of where we are going. Kudos for the outstanding shots you've tak...

Abby: thanks for all this information. I didn't know there was an old mill on Granby Road so we'll check it out. But we'll turn around and then finish the loop to Victory.

Abby: these shots are lovely. I think the white snow against the white church and the brilliant blue sky is strikingly beautiful.

Also, the bare branches framing the church is picturesque. Thanks for sharing these, great job!
