Trip 4, Day 3. Newport, VT. to St. Albans, VT.
Sunset, Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge.
We had to skip day 3 while on the road, no internet. Day 3 was great we stayed way up north by Canada and traversed over to the Northwest corner. Near Jay Peak we settled down by a stream and shot some video work. We found a fresh cup of night crawlers and decided to film some stuff. Clover loves making videos. She’s an actress and embraces it, especially when I say action and cut. That’s her favorite part. She likes to suggest things too, after all, it’s a collaboration… We finally let the worms go and take off for the NW corner. But on the way we stopped off to hike in the forest along a stream where we found some salamanders. Good thing we had a story about them before bed last night…
Then we were off to the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge. We walked at sunset on the trails there and watched all the birds with the binoculars and set up for another video at the pond. While we waited for last light we sat and listened to the spring peepers peeping, coyotes hunting and howling, turkey and geese. It was incredible, a symphony of sounds like I’ve never experienced. Right at the perfect moment to film Clover gets really bad stomach cramps… Off to the gas staion we go…
