Jericho Roads of Community Photo Series - links

Maeve and I started the Roads of Community Series in April of 2020 as a way to better know our community.  To know every address, every roadway that brings us all together, that makes the whole, one must walk the roads of Jericho. 

To do so, and with some regularity, is to begin to know what makes up this patchwork, this framed latticework of lines that lead us to meet, provide fodder for town meeting and Front Porch Forum discussions, tie us to other towns, and connects us to each other.

Jericho, what roads to community living do you have? What do they look like? How will we recognize each of you? What personality, what character do you bring to the mix that makes Jericho as a whole such a beloved special place?

Come, take a digital and visual stroll with us and see the fabric and patchwork of colors, textures, designs, architecture, and nature-scapes in our Jericho, VT community. Enjoy photos of our Jericho, Vermont community dirt roads as well as a few of our walkable paved roads.

When your done viewing the posts, try this crossword puzzle based on the road walks.

 https://crosswordlabs.com/view/2020-12-12-281

Once you type in an answer, press enter. If the word turns green the answer is correct. If the answer turns red, the answer is incorrect. 

Disclosure (Error I made in creating the puzzle):  65 down, the answer (chair) is part of the clue as well as the answer.

Also, check out the website of Jericho resident Sam Graulty. Sam plans on biking through all 251 towns, city, (and gore!) in Vermont, on dirt... mostly. Check out his photos along the way, and his progress to date at https://dirt251.wordpress.com/the-plan/. 

Great adventure, great photos. WAVE TO SAM if you see him biking by!

This represents a LOT of walking 

Beautiful photos

I really enjoyed looking at them

I have driven down most of the roads but only walked a couple. 

Love this! Thank you so much for sharing.  B.L. Underhill, Vt.

I began a 251 Club adventure during the pandemic. I'm riding my bike through all the towns in VT. I'm a little more than a third of the way through and have been loving taking photos as well. You can check out my blog here: https://dirt251.wordpress.com/.   S.G. Jericho, VT.

What a wonderful project. I'll pass your e-mail on to my wife, too. She has been walking sections of Burlington systematically, though she is only sketching the route, not taking pictures. She will be interested in your approach to documenting the roads in Jericho.             B.M. South Burlington, VT

Seven Days article "Stuff to Do" writes

Instead of traveling around Vermont, Bernie Paquette and Maeve Kim have been exploring their hometown of Jericho. In April, the couple set out to walk all of the town's dirt roads. They've posted photos of their strolls and observations at jerichovermont.blogspot.com. Paquette has lived in Jericho for just five years, but Kim has been there since 1986. "This project just introduced me to my community in a whole new way," she said in a phone interview. Paquette described the importance of traveling familiar routes at a slower pace and meeting and talking with neighbors. "The more you observe," he said, "the more you realize what you're missing."
