VT 131 begins at an intersection with VT 103 in the Windsor County town of Cavendish on the shores of the Black River. VT 131 runs southeast from VT 103 along Main Street in Cavendish, paralleling local railroad tracks as the main west–east road through the community. The route bends northeast in the village, passing a long string of residences, turning east at Twentymile Stream Road. Now paralleling the Black River, the route continues east through Cavendish, reaching the commercial center at a junction with Mill Street.[2]
At Mill Street, VT 131 turns northeast through another residential sector of Cavendish. The route winds northeast through Cavendish, reaching the hamlet of Whitesville, a small community at the junction of Whitesville and Carlton Roads with VT 131. The route soon reaches Cavendish Center, a small junction at Brook Road, where it bends along the Black River eastward before turning southeast along the river still.

After a couple turns, the route reaches Gulf Road, where it turns north again, running up a mountainside into a bend at Henry Gould Road. VT 131 then bends southeast, passing the other end of Gulf Road, soon reaching a junction with Weathersfield Center Road. Running down the hillside it climbed earlier, the route bends northeast into a diamond interchange with I-91 (exit 8) in Weathersfield.[2]
After I-91, VT 131 becomes a divided highway as it enters the hamlet of Ascutney, reaching a junction with US 5 and VT 12 just west of the Connecticut River and New Hampshire, where VT 131's right-of-way becomes NH 103

The Black River begins in a small body of water called Black Pond, in Plymouth, Vermont. Winding its way toward the town of Ludlow, its narrow flow picks up a variety of small brooks and streams and is cooled by overhanging branches. Passing through Amherst Lake, Echo Lake, Lake Rescue, and Lake Pauline, the Black River picks up more tributaries and winds through the town of Ludlow, the home of Okemo Mountain Ski Resort. Tumbling through impressive Cavendish Gorge, the river widens as it passes under the Downers Covered Bridge and enters Perkinsville.

Skiing in Okemo, Vermont, USA
Okemo is an awesome hill station. Great place to ski.
Location: Okemo Mountain Resort is in the state of Vermont, USA, above the village of Ludlow, just off Vermont Routes 103/100.
Skis are used in conjunction with special boots that connect to the ski with use of a binding. It is characterized by fixed-heel bindings that attach at both the toe and the heel of the skier's boot.
About 32% are novice and for beginners like us there were classes. I was thrilled to see so many children learning skiing. My friends and I had the pleasure of having Mr. Craig be our instructor in a ski class. He is a good and patient teacher. I learned how to stand and walk with ski and much more from him. He helped me get up whenever I fell down - which was many times :) The shoes and the gear were taken on rent.
Picturesque return journey via Northampton, Massachusetts, where we could eat lunch; many Indian restaurants offer vegetarian food.

A Vacation from YouTube!
We took off on a family vacation and visited some great east coast destinations. First our adventures took us to Vermont, where we visited Charlie's old family homestead and then spent the night in the Homestyle Hostile Bar and Restaurant in Ludlow VT. Then we ventured up to Camps in Harrison Maine on Long Lake where we picked up Kaya from her summer home. After Maine we headed south to Boston where we went to The Mother Church and did a little sight seeing, even grabbed a slice of giant pizza from Supreme Pizza. Our journey led us back through New York and New Jersey where we grabbed lunch and incredible ice cream sundaes from Bischoff's Confectionary in Teaneck New Jersey and visited Liberty State Park to see the Statue of Liberty. After our New England adventures we moved further south and visited the Capital in Washington DC. The kiddos really enjoyed the roof top pool at the Holiday Inn, but the highlight was walking down the national mall and seeing all the monuments, we even saw Donald Trump's house... The White House. Interested in visiting some of these areas? Here's an honest review from a traveling family.

Vermont Rail System: Chasing Green Mountain Train 263 (Rutland to Bellows Falls, VT)
January 16, 2017
On a crisp Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday morning, I (as well as Railfanning 101 Vermont) set out once again to catch the Newly Redone Vermont Railway (SD70m-2) 431 lead Green Mountain train 263 for the third time in a row. However, this time it was the real deal! We chased the train for pretty much all of it's trip from Rutland at US Route 7 to the Bartonsville Covered Bridge in Rockingham. The chase was long, and lasted most of the day but it was a good one.
This time, I wasn't the only one chasing the train. Since many people saw the first video I posted of this beautiful locomotive on the road, many people have come from New York, Massachusetts, and even farther to get a glimpse of big red in all it's glory.
Apparently this locomotive has also been quite an icon traveling around the world and beyond, being the center of many photoshopped pics and memes on Flickr and beyond

Info (timeslots coming soon):
1. Rutland, VT- The conductor has to manually activate the signals at US Route 7 and flags the crossing (which I have never seen before) before departing the yard.
2. East Clarendon, VT- The train makes it's way across VT Route 103, as well as the Appalaichan and Long Trails.
3. East Wallingford, VT- The train makes it's way in full throttle over the Mill River and route 103 on the infamous Cuttingsville Trestle.
4. Summit- The train finally reaches the top of the mountain in Mt. Holly, aside route 103.
5. Healdville- The 431 now makes it' way through a rural crossing in Healdville (summit road).
6. Ludlow- The grade starts moving downhill now as the train passes by the Okemo Ski Resort in Ludlow.
7. Proctorsville- The 431 gives out a nice hornshow across Route 103 in Proctorsville.
8. Chester- We were going to try to catch the train at Bailey's Mills, but we got asked to leave so we went straight to the timely Chester Depot.
9. Bartonsville- Last but not least, I got my DJI Phantom 3 drone to work and got an aerial shot of the train as it passes by the Bartonsville Covered Bridge.
