Scenes of Vermont Forums

Popple Dungeon was washed out twice, so it will be slow to come back. I have not been up to East hill, but it is probably like Potash Brook, which has temporary piping and one lane travel in spots. Will get up there before the big weekend and have a look.

I was at my little cabin in Chester VT, first visit after Irene. Everything is good there, but lots of roads are under repair. Everyone is working around the clock, so the roads are coming back fast. May still be some one lane highways here and there, but nothing that can't be managed. Leaves looked...

CT we will be interested to see what you think of Rupert and that area. We were at the Myrck forest in august and all I could think is how great it wil look in fall.

What a weekend! The Chester Craft Fair was so good we went both days and the weather could not be more perfect. Looks like it will continue. Some may be interested in the mountains you are looking at when you are on East Hill looking to the southeast. The largest is Mount Sunapee in NH and to the ri...

Its been very interesting living with Flatlander syndrome at our little cabin. Whenever we go to dinner at the local establishments, I can tell that we look different somehow than the locals and you try to act local but you can't shake that Flatlander look. In fact, we got so tired of getting stoppe...

We had four of them explode at our feet one day, scared the crap out of me. My heart is still racing thinking about it.

What can I say as a second home owner in Vermont? Lots actually, but maybe I will write a book someday. We bought our little cabin in 2004 and have enjoyed it for fishing, skiing, hiking and getting to know the natives. There is a saying in Vermont that you aren't a native until the last person who ...

CT, I was in that bookstore in Chester last weekend! Bought a nice picture book on Ireland for 5 bucks. In answer to Carol's question, we have an SUV and our cabin is on a dirt road in Chester, so we are used to ruts, especially in mud season. Look forward to meeting everyone.

CT, my wife and I may want to join the group on the 3rd, where and what time are you meeting? We would come up to our cabin in Chester on the night of the 2nd and then come out that morning. I did not see the exact location and time, so wanted to check if we could join the group for the day. Was in ...

Would be happy to join the leaf drop recovery group. Sorry about the typo, should be sugar maples. Can't see the screen at home. Its hell getting old!

Wow that was a fast season! Arrived on Thursday and the Brattleboro area was approaching peak. Went on to Stratton and Bromley and the peaks were all blown off and brown, but the middle levels were awesome. Played golf on Stratton on Sunday and the sugar maples were on fire at sunset. The guy at the...

Hope you all are preparing SOV re-union reports for tomorrow. Those of us who could not make it are waiting! Lots of pictures!

Great pictures Carol. Where is the lake with the old hotel on it?

Stratton is about 20 minutes south of Ludlow. It is in the towns of Bondville and Winhall. The mountain has a nice village that has food and a gondola ride tot the top. Skiing isn't bad either.

There may be an effect of GW, but this year we have had plenty of rain (46 inches in Chester, VT) and a hard frost. It may break out a little later, but with any luck it will be a long season like last year. The Chester Street Fair was great this year!
