Smugglers Notch is a pass through the northern Green Mountains subprovince of the Appalachians, through which illicit trade with Canada was common from the time of the British-American conflicts through early 20th-century Prohibition. Days like this surely helped to cover such activities, to the extent smugglers were willing to undertake the route in wet, slippery conditions. Snow was falling at this and higher elevations on this day also, and can be seen accumulating on the tops of some tree limbs, with rain just a couple hundred feet lower. This view of the trees recedes upward into the dense fog, which manifest as stratus clouds at lower elevations from which I traveled.
