We spent Sunday night at Gaelen's and left early Monday and drove the 3 hours to Plainfield Vermont to look at an apartment. It was nice, a bit small but with a nice backyard leading down to a creek with garden space. The rent is a bit high ($900/month) and it is not ready yet to move into. We spent the next couple of nights in the Groton State Forest and our days at the library, applying for jobs and looking at an $800/month apartment in Montpelier from which we can walk everywhere. The drawback...no yard and pretty urban.

We looked at a place today north of Montpelier that we really like, it's a trailer but its nestled in a beautful valley and has lots of garden space and a forested mountain in the backyard with lots of trails...We are sleeping on it, the rent is right $655/month. We ate dinner at a community potluck corn roast at the local elementary school before tenting for what may be our last night in the Groton State Forest.
