Fummins Family checks out the drawbridge between North Hero and South Hero Island in Vermont
We have been staying on North Hero Island on Lake Champlain in Vermont. We have crossed this bridge a bunch of times, and decided to go check it out. The boys worked on some questions for the operator, and we lucked out, and it was going up when we were there. The boys had a list of questions to ask the operator and he was very welcoming. This one is a bascule bridge, that raises and lowers using electricity and counter weights.
