About this postcard

A distant view of Camels Hump, the prominent 4,083-foot peak of Vermont's Green Mountains, rising above forested foothills with a pale sunrise or sunset glow along the horizon. The mountain's bare, rounded summit — one of the few remaining undeveloped alpine zones in Vermont — is shown here in a tinted halftone view typical of the mid-20th-century roadside souvenir cards sold throughout the state. The foreground shows green pastures and wooded slopes of the surrounding valley.

6. A.M. Imagine me up at this hour! But we're leaving for Sherbrook for the day. We've had awfully raining weather since since we left home. Dorothy
