Jer 🚵🏼<p>This was discovered while reading about Hall's Stream or Rivière Hall, which is a 25.2 mile river that forms much of the New Hampshire and Canadian border, with all of the undulations and squiggles one might imagine (zoom in!). After all of that important work being a border it unceremoniously enters Vermont as a plain old river only to dump into the Connecticut river.<br>Which brings us to the shape of upper Vermont. They could have stopped at Hall’s river and edge of Canada, but instead continued along the west side of the Connecticut until that crossed the latitude of lower Canada/upper Vermont. </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halls_Stream" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halls_St</span><span class="invisible">ream</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/VT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VT</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/NH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NH</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a></p>

Jer 🚵🏼<p>Kid and I drove to the north country of Vermont to ride some Lamoille rail trail with a work buddy and his son.
