Montreal 2001
Burlington VT/Montreal, QC October 2001 Truth be told I'm just cleaning up my desktop and came across these old scanned in pictures from a little weekend trip Hoang and I took to Montreal back in October 2001.

Devil’s Dens: Plainfield & Sterling
Plainfield: Note: This page appears over on my Satan in Connecticut! section, so it takes on a different flavor.
