Running in the North East Kingdom
Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 3:03PM I was recently sent to the North East Kingdom in Vermont for an assignment for FairPoint Communications. I could not have asked for a better destination in New England. If you are a mountain biker like me you already know how special this corner of Vermont is. The trail system off Darling Hill Road and Burke Mountain is among the very best in all of New England and the North East. If you just love a scenic location then this part of Vermont is as idyllic as exists. My assistant Jeremy Bonnett and I drove up Sunday night to scout and get ready for the photo shoot the following day. It rained the entire drive up from Portland and then held off just as we arrived and for a few hours. Jermemy Bonnett is an ultra runner and had never been on the trail system, with the break in the weather he took advantage of the trails for a nice 10 mile run. Before he took off on the trails I had him stand and model in front of some the potential back drops we would use for the photo shoot. This shot is captured with one the barns in the background from the Inn at Mountain View Farm where we stayed. The Kingdom trails were just feet from where we were standing. Lucky for me I returned the following weekend for three days of mountain biking and camping during an amazing stretch of Indian Summer.
