Hi Wentworth: I've seen that picture on VermontSplendor.com and yes, it is amazing. I would love to have a poster of that scene. It is truly one of a kind. I've been to the location you have spoken of just before you get to Quechee Gorge; it's on the right on top of a hill and it is called "Fool on ...

Hi Wentworth! Thank you for the links for the photos. I have been on that site many times and have enjoyed the pictures archived from all the previous years. As far as catching the peak, well I have come to the conclusion that the peak is elusive. Every time we get in the car to go to Vermont, we sa...

Abby: love your photo of Wheeler Mt. You are a great photographer! Can't wait to return to Lake Willoughby area. I never heard of this mountain you are referring to. I've seen Mt. Hor and Mt. Pisgah. We'll have to look for Wheeler Mt. in October! Is the road easy to find where we will end up in this...

Hi Wentworth: yes, I am talking about the late foliage season of last year. We went on two trips, both after Columbus Day, in Central and Southern Vermont, when the leaves peaked so much later after the cold snap finally set in. This year our two excursions are October 3rd through Columbus Day. I th...

Hi GIC: Welcome back to the forum! With a very cool past weekend, more sections of trees are starting to turn and the leaves that are showing, are red and orange. I would say a good 5% of all the trees in the surrounding areas where I live, are either dulling and/or have small colored sections peaki...

A Touch of Fall In the Air This Morning!

Ahhh yes, it’s coming! This morning in the 50's - you can definitely feel this subtle change! Some trees here in north central Connecticut have started to dull and the very tops of some of the tallest, have sprouted some color. Same scenario as last August. With great joy, I donned the VT sweatshirt...

Hi PWT: if we proceed with the NEK area, are there any dramatic views similar to the Lewis Pond Outlook? I would LOVE to go to Lewis Pond, but looks like it will probably still be closed..... :( I like the idea of a destination that ends in "another speechless, eye-popping moment"!!!! LOL! I'm sure ...

Hi PWT: Great to see the thread back on the SOV Fall Reunion! :lol: I'll have to agree with you that it is a toss of the coin. We are flexible and either place would work for us, even though we are in Stowe. I like the idea of gathering at a diner for starters. Let's see what others want to do and w...

Maybe you can add some of your comments as we near this wonderful season and our personal journeys throughout the state. Vermont to me is first of all, a feast for the ...

Hi PWT: I just got done looking at my Northern Cartographic. I found this Old Center Road. It was even hard to see with reading glasses! I'm confused. When I take this left on Old Center Road, it turns into Smith Road, then Glinka Road directly into the town of Cabot. On which of these roads will th...

Tim: here are two more beautiful roads for possible additions to your list. Danville Hill Road : off of Route 2 out of Danville, just pass East Cabot. The view of the valley below was outstanding and the drive down into Cabot beautiful. First two weeks of October. Route 44 : Out of Woodstock we took...

Abby: Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until the October reunion to "meet" you. :wink: I decided to wear my moose sweatshirt for good luck, when we visit the Victory Bog area. We are heading there early in the morning so maybe this year will be the year! Otherwise, the moose at Currier's will have t...

Abby ! Wow! What a picture! I thought you and PWT were talking about a stuffed moose head not the whole body! If I don’t see any moose on this trip, you can be sure I’ll be there! I’ve actually never seen a taxidermy on a whole animal. Wild! (Or it used to be!) :lol: Is that you in the picture? You...
