Aaak! You must be on the way by now...actually, it has rained overnight, now it's Friday morning 10-6, and I haven't been out to look around. I think it will be cold this weekend, may have some snow above 2,000 feet on Sunday. The rest of the time, we are supposed to have mostly chilly but not preci...

Alan,<BR>I agree with you, the peak had not hit yet in Quechee or even north of there on Oct. 1. Actually, yesterday and the day before (10-4&5) seemed to me to be peak color in Quechee...it was totally gorgeous! Not only the brilliant reds, but the surrounding trees which had been mostly green were...

This year, you should be fine in Manchester and Brattleboro on those dates. I'm in Quechee, just east of Woodstock, and we are not near peak...I would say we're at about 60 percent of the way there.I do think the peak is later this year than many years, we're thinking we will have peak color in the ...

Kerry,I have checked with the St. Johnsbury Chamber of Commerce, and they do not know of any construction or delays on Rte. 2. They did mention some bridge work on Rte. 5 between St. Johnsbury and Barton, that has the bridge at one lane. There's a traffic light that regulates who gets to go next, an...

Hi, Skymaster, it looks like you'll be about halfway between Bennington and Arlington on Rte. 7A. This is not one of my frequented spots, so I'm fairly clueless myself, but...log onto <A HREF="http://www.sovermont.com" TARGET=_blank>www.sovermont.com</A> or call tollfree 1-877-768-3766. This is the ...

Todd,Your location in Northfield, Mass., is excellent to go almost anywhere in Vermont. You're just near the last Mass exit of I-91, jump on northbound and Vermont is straight up the road...don't miss the beautiful (and new) Welcome Center in Vermont, just a couple miles over the state line. There, ...

Kerry, I'm working on the Rte. 2 construction information, it wouldn't surprise me, we have quite a few construction sites this year; however, our road crews seem to work quickly and many a construction site is finished before I expect it, but I'm trying to find out for you from a reliable source. S...

Well, Alan, I guess you left last night at midnight without an official update from me, but basically my advice was sound, so I'm not worried. I was exhausted from our marathon foliage blitz, couldn't push my "little fingers" onto the keys last night...the only slight misinformation may be Texas Fal...

Hi, I just did a sweep of central Vermont yesterday (Randolph, Northfield, Waitsfield, Warren), and from what we saw, peak foliage will come no sooner there than next weekend, and here in Quechee we're not near peak as yet. I think in Weston (south from here) you will be fine by the 8th...they shoul...

Wow, thanks, now you're giving me a challenge to live up to here...so here goes!In miles, Barton is north of St. Johnsbury by about 25-30 miles I would say, and St. Johnsbury is 70 miles north of the I-89 interchange, which hooks you up with the Rte. 4 corridor of Quechee-Woodstock, about as far sou...

I would say that Moss Glen Falls on VT Rte. 100 in the Granville Gulf, plus Texas Falls just south of there out of Hancock on Rte. 125...however, we will be in those areas tomorrow (Sat. 9-30) and will check them out in person. As to covered bridges, the Taftsville bridge between Woodstock and Quech...

Hi, you must've meant September 30/October 1? This weekend is going to have glorious color all around Killington. You can see tons of color right there at Killington, head north up VT Rte. 100 to Sugarbush, Waitsfield and Warren in the Mad River Valley, and you'll have excellent viewing all along th...

Hi,I don't think so...not at all earlier than usual. I am in Quechee (central/eastern Vermont), and we are not close to peak as yet. I was in Randolph on Tues., two days ago (26th), and the colors were more vibrant and more of them up there --about 30 miles north-- but not so advanced as to be at pe...

Hi,If you're still planning your leaf-peeping trip to Vermont next week, I think you could get a place during the week, but I'd call ahead from Boston. Try the Woodstock Chamber at 1-888-496-6378 or look on <A HREF="http://www.woodstockvt.com." TARGET=_blank>www.woodstockvt.com.</A> If you call, the...

Will do, Kerry, I'll be out and about this weekend. Got a news bulletin that Killington is making snow tonight --just to test their snow guns, mind you-- so they'll be adding some white to the bright colors for some contrast. I'll let you know how it looks before your trip!Susanne
