For all you music/outdoor lovers out there... http://www.snoedown.com/ This is apparently being held in Rutland this year. Chip was just looking up where Sharon Jones was playing and found this. Thought there might be some interest for some folks here on VFTT. Jen

I stumbled on this today while reading about Rudyard Kipling's estate in Dummerston, VT. As Fall quickly arrives here in New England I thought there might be other folks who would appreciate this very apt and poetic description of the season: Hope everyone gets to enjoy looking into the...

Did anyone lose a pair of sunglasses on the Castle Trail to Jefferson recently? If so PM me. On a somewhat sad note :( I lost my stuffed moose hiking buddy someplace on my descent. I lost him somewhere between the Link Trail (1/4 mile or so from the junction with the Castle Trail) and my car...

Calling all VT 3k peakbaggers: Anything special to know ahead of time about the 'whack from Blue Ridge south on to Blue Ridge North? Thanks for any info. Haven't been on a 'whack in a long long time...feelin' rusty. Toe Cozy.

I just read this article about proposed decommisioning of Pisgah State Park as part of a 10 year plan for NH Parks and Recreation. I wanted to share this information with the hope that the more people who chime in it will show the Parks Division the full value of Pisgah. Pisgah is a great...

I called GMC today but no one returned my call. The signs last week said Montclair Glen was planned to be functional by Memorial Weekend. Anyone know for sure if the reconstruction is finished?

As a thank-you for a recent donation to GMC I received their new publication entitled Nature Guide to Vermont's Long Trail: A Quick Reference for Hikers written by Lexi Shear. I have not read all of it yet, but so far it seems worthy of a mention on this forum. It has a little bit of everything...

Date Hiked: 3.14.09 Trail Conditions: Hard packed, easy hiking, bare boot-able, although I wore microspikes the whole way and Blythe wore her MSRs near the top and all the way down for traction. Warm sun in the afternoon made snow a more slippery and soft than when we set out. No blow downs...

Date: Jan. 31, 2009 Trail Conditions: Well traveled after all that snow last week. Smooth sailing in a happy trough of snow the whole way to treeline. Someone else did the breaking and we were grateful! Special Equipment Required: On this particular day just snowshoes. Comments: On our way...

Both these short hikes are now broken out to their tops. Have fun.

On the VT gazetteer it says FR 10 (near Little Rock Pond) is closed in winter. Does anyone know when it's actually closed and where they close it off? Thanks.

On Oct. 12th Laura Z and her husband, Bob, told me about the Bold Coast Trail in Cutler, ME. I had never heard of it before. I had to go. Now. Before I go back to w$rk. On Oct. 21- I left my house heading toward Maine. I stopped in Portland, ate pizza and went to Portland head light with...

Off Trail 3k hill in Southern Vermont. 3301' Hike started off at about 1460' on Moffitt Hollow Rd. A one lane rough dirt road off of Sandgate Rd. Follow the dirt path on the other side of the gate and across the creek. Special Equipment: No more snow anywhere except tiny pockets on the North...

Wow...I don't even know where to start. First, Darren is a most excellent host for a trip to Hawai'i. We asked him so many questions every day from, where should we hike, what is ,poke, have you done a glider ride on the North Shore, how do you pronounce that word again to what do the trail...

Okay...this is a first for me. I don't normally post about my hiking trips, but I'd rather not go solo. I am interested in heading up to either Abe and/or Ellen on Sunday or Monday. I am not interested in hiking via ski trails. Ick. Gross. Gag. Talk to someone else if that's your thing. I'll...

Haven't seen any reports about these two mountains or any trail conditions. I realize the weather is constantly changing things up in them thar hills, but has anyone been up that way recently? If Sunday or Monday pan out to decent weather days I may head up that way and at least hike up the...

I know some of you have hiked over near the bat caves in the Dorset/Manchester Vermont area. Perhaps you've already read or heard about the bat deaths. They are happening in New York and Mass. as well. Here is a link to an article in today's Brattleboro Reformer

Saturday evening we checked the summit weather forecasts for Sunday. They included high winds and associated wind chills increasing steadily throughout the day into the afternoon. Sunday morning rolled around and the sky was blue, the air temperature comfortable and we couldn't believe we had...

So you've tuned in to another exciting installment of my hiking adventures. You must be bored. Well, so am I, that's why I'm writing this report. I've been making lots of trips over toward Manchester and Dorset, VT lately. Today's destination was Mother Myrick Mountain. Most of the fun of this...
