Today we began our very cold trip in Jericho (history, demographics): On the Underhill-Jericho town line is Underhill Flats, one of the few villages in the state which lie in two towns.
In what could be called an early variant of gerrymandering, the story is told of Jedediah Lane, who moved here from Connecticut, eventually to become the town's representative in the Legislature. When a land survey was completed, it was discovered that Lane actually lived in Underhill. Not wanting to lose his job, Lane had his house moved a few feet west, over the line into Jericho.
Jericho was home to "Snowflake" Bentley.
To Stef's left (uh...your right) is Elizabeth of the LATimes and her photog, Alden (who lives in VT). Both were very nice--Cairo accepted them into the pack--and we asked them to be in one of our "official" photos. A fun trip with special guests!
