opinions on my routes for this weekend?
Posted: Tue Oct 05, 2004 1:21 am
I've seen some great advice/suggestions on here so I thought I'd run my tentative itinerary by everyone for thoughts:
Friday:
Driving from NY to Burlington (via Lake
Champlain ferry)
Lunch in Burlington
Burlington to Shelburne (via Rt. 7)
check out Shelburne Farms, Museum and covered bridge near there
(If not too dark by then...) Shelburne to Charlotte to check out the covered bridges mentioned on here
Dinner in Charlotte or Shelburne
Back to cottage on Lake Iroquois for the night
Saturday:
Lake Iroquois to Waterbury/Waterbury Center for breakfast (via Rt. 89)
Waterbury to Stowe (via Rt. 100)
Possibly stop at some or all of the following along the way: Cold Hollow Cider, Cabot outlet, Ben & Jerry's, Trapp Family Lodge and have lunch in Stowe
Stowe to Morrisville (via Rt. 100)
Morrisville to Montpelier (via Rt. 12)
From Montpelier I'm debating between three choices:
Choice A: stay in Montpelier to sight-see, have dinner then back to Lake Iroquois for the night
Choice B: Montpelier to Waitsfield to tour round barns, covered bridges and have dinner before returning to Lake Iroquois
Choice C: Montpelier to Brookfield to see the floating bridge (again) and have dinner before returning to Lake Iroquois
Any opinions on the choices?
Sunday:
Lake Iroquois to Middlebury (via Rt. 116)
Visit college, etc. in Middlebury and have breakfast/brunch there
Middlebury to Brandon (via Rt. 30 to Rt. 73 across Brandon Gap)
Brandon to Proctor (via Rt. 7 to Pittsford then Rt. 3 to Proctor)
Visit Wilson Castle
Proctor to Rutland (via Rt. 3)
Arrive by 4pm at latest to visit family friend before departing for NY by 6:00pm
This is all definitely tentative - who knows if we'll want to do this much or just spend some time relaxing, but I wanted a plan just in case we felt like ramming so we don't waste time figuring out routes etc. once we're there.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, including your opinions on priorities if you think I have too much listed each day.
Thanks so much!
