We told you that when we visited the Sousa farm a couple days ago we found there was no evidence of work being done on the planned cell tower there. Yesterday I learned that an appeal has been filed in the state's environmental court against the decision of the Cabot Zoning Board of Adjustment's approval of the Conditional Use Permit. This will doubtless delay, or I suppose could even prevent the installation. I have left a message with the Vermont Environmental Court in Berlin requesting information. If I find out more, I'll let you know.*****
Fred and I went to Elements last night - a very nice evening with wonderful food and service. On our way, we stopped to see the washout Jane Larrabee 
had told me about yesterday. I was absolutely amazed. There must have been a wall of water 15 ft. high coming down that gorge. There was debris hanging on tree branches way higher than the now normal flowing brook. It may have been a beaver dam let go
somewhere above - or just the torrents of rain coming too fast on the already super saturated earth, but as Jane said, that road has weathered 100 years or more of storms, and it's hard to believe it would suddenly be taken out like that. The photos don't really do it justice - it is truly an amazing sight. But if you go to see it, be very careful. The pavement is cracked and the ground beneath could give way and you'd fall 12-15 feet into the brook.
The giant hammer in this photo is the weathervane at Leferrier's Construction. We were parked just below their house.
We are always impressed by the mountains as we drive east from West Danville. It's very nice to have blue sky and sunshine (again today!!) and I think gradually everything will get back to normal.
The summer is coming to a close. It's hard to believe that the last meeting of the season for the Joe's Pond Association is a week from Sunday, on the 24th. Members should check our "Schedule of Events" for details. Kids are heading back to school and folks who aren't year 'rounders begin to plan their trip south. We can't say it's been a great summer weatherwise, but we've sure had plenty to talk about. I think those who can stay into the fall will be rewarded, though. The weather is fickle, and we never really know how the foliage is going to be, so don't hold me to that prediction, please.
