Scenes of Vermont Forums

My newest fascination has turned to researching the locations of the remaining fire towers in Vermont and attempting one or two each year, be it in autumn or summer. After watching a video of a climb up Mt. Elmore’s fire tower which I will include in this post, I discovered a lot of information on t...

Just wondering Al, has National Geographic come calling yet?

Splendid, awesome slideshow. Congratulations

Because our next season, finally, is AUTUMN!

3 months from tomorrow we will herald in the season!

Time to start securing those reservations and thinking about trip itineraries

Enjoy your summer, fall is just around the corner!

ixl took a stunning photo of the full harvest moon from last season on October 4, 2009. He gave me permission to share it with you. The foliage was beautiful! Hope you enjoy! Thanks ixl ! This scene takes my breath away :!: :!: :!: (I forgot to ask him where he shot this. :roll: ) http://www.desktop...

My favorite full moon, the Harvest Moon, will be at 100% on Sep 22nd, 2010 11:09 PM EDT on the first day of fall this year, September 22nd. I think this is a very good omen! I hope the weather is great that evening to welcome in our autumn season and for viewing! When you look up at the sky on this ...

Carol: these are some nice shots of the moose lookout! Very well constructed and the walkway coming out of the woods is really pretty. I wonder how successful it has been or will be! Every year you all say this will be the year for my moose encounter, but so far nada! If we don't see one in Pittsbur...

Tim: You did an outstanding job on the movie. It was truly beautiful to watch and the music accompanying it was very soothing. On another note, yesterday my immediate area was the warmest in the nation for the day as well as the hottest temps in the northeast. 99 with a heat index of 100. We broke a...

Ok folks, the 2010 Pre-Season Meet up of 7/31 OR 8/1 is underway and taking form! Unfortunately, the Harriman Reservoir boat excursion is OFF ! The owner has recently retired much to my dismay. I guess when you see an activity that fascinates you, you should jump on it. I wish I had taken the boat r...

Charles: Thanks for this photo of Somerset Reservoir! I emailed the Public Relations Manager at Mt. Snow and he said the chair lift rides begin May 29th. The views of the Reservoir look amazing from the lift. Below is the link to the schedule for anyone interested. You have to scroll down to the mou...

It appears that our webmaster Tim Benson is thinking of fall in Vermont in 2010 now as well. On May 14th, he officially changed the main Scenes of Vermont Foliage web page over to the upcoming 2010 season! :D http://www.foliage-vermont.com/ We've only got about 4 months now to the first day of Autum...

The way this Spring is going right now (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :shock: ) we'll probably have an October snowstorm right in the middle of foliage season! :twisted: Mother Nature is playing tricks on us! It was like autumn here the last few days and the heat is back on! It was in the 30's this morning. I d...

Well, I am not surprised about the snow up there. Lately, the weather here in New England has been rather wacky don't you think? This morning was in the low 40's with incredible winds and I had on a ski jacket and gloves walking the dog. It felt like October! :wink: Tonight we are expecting 30's! Go...

Hi Charles! First of all I want to thank you for all these great routes/locations in SW VT. I'm sure there are a lot of folks out there who will also benefit from this list. I've been to the overlook on route 9 between Brattleboro and Wilmington which was unbelievable to say the least, but what is t...

Charles! It's great to see you back on the forum! I certainly hope you will be able to join us in October and meet some of the other folks who have been reunioning together the last couple of years. That would be so helpful if you could scope out the Overlook spot and/or use the GPS for the elevatio...
