Stop 16, Peacham, VT

 We cycled here before we were parents. On a Bike Vermont trip we had a beautiful lunch stop in Peacham.  After a relatively long climb up, the stop was at a classic, Vermont general store.  It was a cool, clear day and the wood burning stove was hot inside the store.  They had hot soup to go along with our sandwiches.  The view was beautiful.  There was a cemetery and church just beside the store.  I can't remember the image exactly, but I took a photo of a headstone that has an image of the deceased's car driving along a curves, forest road.  

Due to my bout of Lyme's disease, I didn't make it back up to Peacham this trip.  While I rested in the teardrop, Frances drove up.  Sadly, the general store had been closed for years.  Another part of our past lost to time's march.
