Tornnfrayed, where are you trying to get too?
Are you referring to the Danby-Mt Tabor Rd? I haven't been on it since winter but its a few miles down the road from me. I suspect its open and passable to the LT AT lot if coming from the West (Route 7).
An alternate is taking the Homer Stone Trail to the LT, its a very pleasant 2.5 mile walk on a gorgeous logging road along a babbling river. You can reach Homer Stone Rd just a couple miles north of Danby off Rt 7. The lot can accomodate a couple of cars. I hike there often after work with my pups and the trail is snow free to the LT and there is zero mud. There's a house right there and the folks are friendly, I've never heard of any problems. If you've not been to Little Rock Pond on the LT/AT, its a gorgeous spot and an easy hike from either Danby Mt Tabor Rd or the Homer Stone Trail.
PM me if you'd like more info/directions on any of this. I may take a ride up Danby Mt Tabor road tommorrow, anyhow, because I've been curious about it, too. FWIW, we drove the entire length of the Kelly Strand-Arlington Rd from Stratton Trailhead to Route 7 a couple weekends ago and with the exception of one front wheel drive car-sucking mud vortex (seriously there was an abandoned late model car there), we had no problems with the Outback and the road is mostly dry, as were the trails around Stratton.
Have a wonderful time, whatever you decide. The leaves here in Central VT have just opened and the grass is emerald green.
I've also had zero problems parking at any of the lots mentioned in this post. On Danby Mt Tabor Rd, there's a paved lot and the USFS is right at the base of the road, I've seen a ranger there many times. I would avoid parking near the Govn Clement Shelter off East Cold River Rd or on VT 103 (despite being a main road vandalisms have occured).
