0:00.0	Jeff it's been a while since we've been on a mountain hike. It has Ray. I mean maybe we've been
0:09.7	lazy lately I don't know but but we're going to fix it today for sure.
0:13.2	Well, it looks like a lot of uphill climbing ahead.
0:15.6	It is. We are heading to the very roof of Vermont today, which is the top of Mount Mansfield.
0:21.6	And what are we hoping to find there?
0:23.5	Two things, although one you can only see from a distance

1:18.2	roadside oddities, and other weirdness you've encountered and you think we should check out.
1:23.6	So we'll go searching for the elusive Wampa Hoofis right after this word from our sponsor.
