Rotary club members Lesley Murray and Armand Fournier set out in 2020 to visit every one of Vermont's state parks. They describe magical adventures, especially appreciated during the pandemic, as they explored corners of our state that were previously unknown to them.
 
Many of their visits took place during winter when they found they were among very few other visitors and could enjoy the quiet beauty around them. Lesley shared that these experiences were both "centering and restorative."
 
Inspired? The Green Mountain Passport, available for $2 to any veteran or person over the age of 62, permits lifetime day use of all of Vermont's state parks.  Day passes are also available to check out at local libraries. Visit https://vtstateparks.com/index.html for more pass options and park information.
 
Lesley and Armand's next odyssey?  Visiting every covered bridge in the state.
