Taking the wiff to Vermont at the end of October. You're all jealous. I can tell.

Like their syrup.

Try the cheese!

I'm going to be within 10 miles of Vermont next week,I don't have a passport so I won't be setting foot into it though. I wanted to be able to say I was in New England dammit.

PapaSquash · 09-01-2010, 10:58 PM

Good Eatin'

Montpelier has The New England Culinary Institute; always a few grads operating cafes in town.

Near Rutland is Countrymen's Pleasure. Nominally German, but they make whatever they want and all of it is great. Bring your wallet, expect to be deeply impressed.

Then there's Ben and Jerry's

Vermont is a great place to relax and breath some fresh air. Don't eat too much maple sugar candy or whatever the hell is it is.

i work there almost everyday.
i'm 2 miles from the border.
go to new hampshire , it's just, better

Vermont really is the bastard child of new england. Its a very strange place, pretty, but strange. Have some Ben and jerry's

I have some friends in NH and Ma. Beautiful country. What do you call a Maine woman under 200 pounds ? -- Supermodel.

I'll be way up in East Burke, VT this weekend raging it up with my old jeep club, ie. party buddies.

Whereabouts in VT are you gonna be and when in Oct.? If its early enough, you should see some great foliage.

coldsteal2 · 09-02-2010, 02:51 PM

Never been to Vermont, always thought it was pretty awesome in the fall there.

I wouldnt mind going up to Cape Cod and ride out Hurricane Earl, sounds
like fun

ext1jdh · 09-02-2010, 06:01 PM

Oct 28-31. Just the weekend really. I'm hoping that as warm as it's been this summer, it'll push the trees changing a little longer. We'll be in Stowe being tourists.

stowe is very nice. but it's been so dry here, the leaves are already starting to go.i was at MT SNOW today and the swamp maples are already red.

ext1jdh · 09-02-2010, 07:44 PM

Oh well. Maybe we'll just stay in the hotel the entire time

Micky · 09-02-2010, 07:58 PM

That time of year all the tourists will be starting to leave.
There may still be some color in the south.

Enjoy your time here, but stay away from the rednecks.
Some people here make Deliverance look like a kiddie show...

ext1jdh · 09-02-2010, 08:03 PM

we plan to wander around town checking out the shops and spending the afternoons in pubs, then stumbling back to the hotel.

Micky · 09-02-2010, 08:07 PM

If you get the chance, drive to the top of Mt. Mansfield then hike a small distance to either peak (nose or chin is what they are called). The view is spectacular on a clear day.
Don't forget Ben & Jerry's and Cabot cheese.
A short distance down route 2 you will find a weekend craft fair/flea market that has some neat stuff.
There is a nice drive thru Smugglers notch on route 108.
Your wife will love the shops...
