After touring Bragg Hill Road in Waitsfield (stunning, colorful, unbelievable views) we headed down the App Gap (highway 17). Very windy but lovely with lots of color! I loved Bristol! Then on to Addison!
I must say that I was a little disappionted! There were only a few flocks coming and going and on some of the fields but not near the fence. I still think it was an exhilarating experience (but I do think that of most of the things I do in VT
). My friends loved it. I knew we were early when we went there, so I think in one to two weeks the magical wonder of nature will be at its utmost! We followed pwt's directions to Gage Road and tried to find a couple of flocks that left the viewing area to the south fields, but by the time we got there, they were gone! 
Oh well! We tried!!! Next year when I come to VT after Columbus Day for trip number 2, we will try again. There is always next year! If anyone is going to Dead Creek in a week or ten days, you will hit the jackpot!
