Scenes of Vermont Forums

ctyanky-So glad you had a wonderful trip. We went early this year to catch the elusive peak to our dismay! Oh well. Sorry you didn't get a chance to try the wonderful corn chowder at Rochester Cafe. Maybe next year, hopefully. I can't wait to see some of your pictures and read in detail about your t...

Well, this is what I wait for all year! We are leaving shortly and should be in WRJ by evening, God willing. I hope the colors aren't dull like I just read on this forum due to the warmth. I see the weather should be cooling off on Sunday/Monday just when we are heading home! :x I love the cool, cri...

Abby (aka Carol)- Thank you for your response. Yes, we will be going to Lake Willoughby. I showed my DH your photos and he was amazed. He has always wanted to see a moose. It is kind of an inside joke between us whenever we go up to VT. Your pictures are just great you must be a professional. If not...

Abby- I can only echo ctyanky: WOW and DOUBLE WOW! Your pictures are breathtaking. Nothing moves me like my beloved VT. I can't wait to get up there on Wednesday. Do you think the ride up to Lake Willoughby will still be worth it (foliage speaking of course) as we will be based out of White River Ju...

Hi All- Here goes the $64K question I think you all want to ask, how does this foliage season measure up to say, 2003? Believe me, I for one am grateful for any and all foliage and find beauty in the smallest patch of color, but I was just wondering. Most of our old timers have seen many autumns com...

Hi AGirl- All of your pictures are beautiful! I was looking at your journey ithru the Yukon, etc. The bear catching salmon was amazing. You have a photographers eye without a doubt. You have shown me places I have only dreamt about. I envy you for your freewheelin' adventurous lifestyle. You go girl...

ctyanky- I am in the same boat regarding maps and posts from this forum. I am going to bring my laptop tote minus my laptop and have all my precious posts in there where I will have convenient access to them. I can't wait for Wednesday. I don't know how to pack as I am sure it will be cooler up ther...

Me too- I might just hit it perfectly this year!!! As I have said before we always made our annual pilgrimage beginning the Wednesday after Columbus Day until that Sunday and always seemed a bit too late for the brilliant reds. This year we decided to come up 1 week earlier and it is looking good. I...

bm, Andy, and pwt54-

You are truly great people. We count on all of you so much and you are always there to answer our questions even if they have been asked a thousand times before.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Susan in CT but soon to be in VT

Thanks bm and pwt54-

Thanks for your suggestions. Would it be possible to do Peacham and Lake Willoughby in 1 day from WRJ? If so please post routes.

Thanks so very, very much,
Susan in CT

Hi All-

With all the beautiful descriptions of Peacham I just have to make that town a priority on my trip. What would be the most scenic and interesting route to Peacham from home base of WRJ?

Thanking you in advance,
Susan in CT

pwt54 and DCE Nebraska- Thanks for the great information. We are definitely going up to Lake Willoughby and/or Lake Winnipesaukee. If you had to choose one for the foliage between this Oct 3-7 which would you choose. With all this hot weather we are having I hope the trees don't get confused. Today ...

Thanks Andy- I have always wanted to go there. She is on my "to see" list. Any more tidbits? How is WRJ? I believe I was thinking St Johnsbury when I made the reservation. Oh, well. Would you believe I am sitting here sweating. :x Tomorrow is suppose to break records with the temperature. Might hit ...

Hi All- As many of you know my dear hubby and I usually go to the Killington area and venture out from there. We decided this year to try a new base which will be White River Junction! Don't ask me why I made reservations there. :roll: It's just that I get all light headed and excited when planning ...

ctyanky- You must go to the Rochester Cafe and Country Store. Their Corn Chowder is to die for. The owner/chef knows his way around soups and sandwiches. I usually call up before we leave CT and inquire as to when he might have Corn Chowder on his menu! Nice, homey place with neat booths and an old ...
