I know the spot you're talking about, I was there a few weeks ago. It seems to be slowly getting worse over the years. Personally I wouldn't have had a issue with it except that I was carrying a passenger and that severely restricts my mobility at times.

Use Classic Mode. If you don't know how to, well, you can Google for it.

I'm curious as to your reasoning. In VT concealed carry does not require a permit so it could be that everybody is packing and you wouldn't know.

I think using BSP is a poor choice of example. As an out of stater you pay more to get in there already.

Sue, do you know much about the Weathersfield Trail? I used to hike Ascutney several times a year by the various trails before I moved away in 2001. Then there was a 5 or 6 year gap and the next time I went up that trail is had changed quite a bit.

Well I haven't hiked the Windsor Trail in quite some time. I generally take the Brownsville or Weathersfield Trails as they're much more interesting. The last time I went to Blood Rock the trail continued on and rejoined the Windsor Trail, this was in the mid-to-late 90s most likely, perhaps...

My main complaint was with the statement "a majority of Vermonters". I seriously doubt it. More likely it's a vocal minority that opposes nuclear power. The vast majority have no opinion one way or the other. No different than any other issue. Of course nuclear power comes with risks, some...

Seems a little early for the name calling. Whatever. Enjoy your expensive, dirty power.

Really? Not with the majority that I know. Nor the 600+ that are going to be out of work. Nor will hardly anybody once they see the alternatives. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2013/09/01/who-told-vermont-to-be-stupid/ Oh frack!

Just don't try using your cell phone from the top of Peak of the Ridges. Unless you're from New Brunswick.

If you're already in Ludlow and want to hike why drive somewhere else? Keep in mind that nothing in that area is as close as it looks on a map. None of the routes are direct and all the roads are slow. Trust me I grew up there. The Healdville Trail is a great little trail that nobody knows...

Nope. I wouldn't eat there even if you were buying and the health inspector was with us.

Pats Peak Trailhead (10/8/2011) I did a lot of hiking over the summer. But in the fall, Christa and I began the biggest hike of all.....

I found out the hard way. It was closed two weeks ago Saturday when I went there. The FS site said it was open, but since the DOC controls the gate it's better to check their site. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~doc/moosilauke/ravinelodge/ I just walked the road since I was already there. It was...

If you look closely at the county line sign as you come into Twin Mountain on Route 3 from the south, you can see the name is spelled "Coös". This would indicate that both vowels are to be pronounced. I'm not sure if this is officially part of the sign or graffiti, I suspect the later...
