Day 5: The Full Rain

Left camp and went to pick up Chuck in Woodstock.  The bed and breakfast where he stayed was owned and run by Rafael from Guatemala, Dana, and their 2 little boys. Small world. Rafael's grandmother had a finca near Patzun which is where Pam is doing most of her non-profit work.  A small world indeed.

Had tea and talked about how they met, Guatemala, snow, and life in general. 

Today we decided to skip all C4 roads as the whole State is way too wet and rain started coming down again this morning.

As we were riding, we found a group from Moto Vermont doing some dirt riding drills in an open field. Met Spencer the owner who told us that the upcoming C4 road was not as hard as the other ones so we went for it.  Difficult but not at the level of the previous days. Riding in mud and ruts while the motorcycle is sliding sideways had now become second nature. 

After lunch at the famous General Store in Warren, the rain began to really coming down.  We tried some dirt roads but they were way too slippery.  It was even hard to stop going down hill. Rear and front wheels locked and the motorcycle still sliding down. Not a good thing.  

So, we decided to head straight to our hotel for the night on pavement, the Lake Morey Resort in Failee, VT.

What a great setting. Looks like Germany or Switzerland.  In front of a beautiful lake, with lots of activities and water sports for families.  Reminds me of the resort in Dirty Dancing.
