Re: VT is BEAUTIFUL, but...

Well, we have arrived and as promised the foliage is beautiful. What we can glimpse of it, that is. It is pouring rain and foggier than London. Urgh! God-I only have tomorrow then heading home on Friday. On a sadder note, the Mendon Mountainview Resort sits empty sold at auction for a pittance due t...

Re: Midd Gap/Ripton/Lincoln/App Gap - PICS - 10/2/12

This is the year to be in Vermont. Leaving Connecticut in a few hours and heading for Rochester and hoping they have a pot of their delicious Corn Chowder on the menu. Several years ago I did call and request it. Love that little place; makes me feel like I am back in the late 50's. A sweet and peac...

Dean and CT-You guys are the best. I appreciate all your uplifting words. Hopefully, things will pan out. Maybe once I get up to God's country things will brighten my spirits. Heck, if the most phantastic pholiage in years doesn't perk me up nothing will. After landing in Killington, where would you...

To deaner1971-I can totally understand where you are coming from. I feel your pain. At least I will have 2 days in Vermont this year but unfortunately even autumn is not lifting the fog around my "employment situation". I got nervous and blew a math test for a dream position so I am kicking myself a...

CT-Heading up to Killington on Wednesday. How do you think it will be this coming week? Any areas or roads that you or Phil might suggest. I can't wait to get up there and since we are only going to have 2 days I don't have a minute to waste. I need some spirit lifting foliage...I knew this was goin...

Re: Foliage Report

:D This past weekend in CT was perfect. I am a little concerned today because of the windy conditions and heavy rains. We don't want to sacrifice any foliage to inclement weather. Thank you for putting up the foliage report. I can't wait to get up to Vermont! It appears that alot of leaf peepers are...

Re: Yankee magazine article

Hi All- Let's all pray to the leaf god/goddess for the most brilliantly blazing autumn ever that lingers for a long, long time. Followed up by a spectacular white winter with loads of great snowfalls like the winter of 2010/2011. These are the seasons I wait for all year long. You can keep spring an...

Re: Who Is Planning An Autumn Trip to VT in 2012?

Hello all- I am planning on a short, maybe 3-4 days, visit to Vermont in October. It seems when we come the first week in October, we usually miss really spectacular color. Is it me or has the last 2 years been so so? Maybe we do come a little too early. Also, I like it a little cooler and last year...
