Guess what all you Northerner's I'm going to be making a trip to your neck of the woods and I'd love to meet up with you if we can work it out.

I'll be in the Berkshires Sept 14-21 and in Vermont Sept 22-29. (Yes - timeshares) And we have a little "lag time (a day) between units. I'm looking for suggestions of what to see and do. We like hiking, history, undiscovered territory (usually via driving). If you have any books (travel) to suggest I'd love to hear about them. I have gotten one for Vermont but I'm still open to suggestions.

I'm really hoping that this time of the year would be quite "colorful" and anything compared to Florida is considered "colorful"...lol

So who's up for a day/two of shooting? I'm really hoping to be able to meet some of my wonderful friends here on DPC!!!

My husband and I...

Denise, Jane and Rich ( Denise, stargazer05766 & Hot_Pixel) will be coming up at some point but we haven't put any plans into place yet.

Well, IF the timing was good and there was a corner to park another couple in, Penny and I might possibly be interested in a fly-by; it's a little early to commit though. Are you gonna be on a lake? We could bring the PGB... But this is all pie in the sky at the moment...

I live in Vermont and would love to get together with you if you want. Hopefully I'll be in a new home in teh Johnson area and that isn't too far from where you will be. It should also be a pretty good time to come up as the colors will be out, maybe a little after peak colors but it might also be early to. Don't ask, here in Vermont you can never tell what the weather is going to do and the colors depend so much on the weather. As for Denise, Jane, and Rich, I'd love to see them again.

It sounds like wonderful pie in the sky Robert...I don't think there is a lake near us...maybe in the Berkshires (first wk)? I'm not as familiar with that area at all...just starting my research. And the place in Vermont is at a ski resort so up high...We had tried to go over to your area but couldn't find a timeshare for there (at that time). But I'm pretty sure that we are coming up again next Jun '14 to the Maine Coastline...and as we like to "explore alot" it's not out of the question that we'll be in your neck of the woods for sure!!!

Chris...that would be wonderful...I have been to Jericho but not further North...we did go through "the Hero's" and into Canada once (had to use my "unused passport" at least ONCE!!!) So I'm totally open to suggestions!!! And fingers crossed that at some point during the 2 wks + we will get to see color!!! Even brown leaves are good...lol...red/yellow ones are better!!!

I'm glad I started this now as it will give us sometime to make a bit of a plan....pfffftttt

I guess I should mention that we are going to spend a little time in both Philadelphia (Sep 13th) and New York City (Sep 29th) so if anyone is interested in that as well...

Well I'm open to just about anything, i do know of a cool waterfall in the Stowe area and there are tons of spots to explore. I'll start planning something for us now as I'm horrible at plannign stuff so the extra time is great.

Make sure you stop at the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory in Stowe! It's a fun stop!

Looking forward to this. Sounds like a fun time!

If you post a "meetup" date/time when you want to go out shooting I'll see if I can make it...the Berkshires might be more workable for me since I have a trip planned during your Vermont stay!

Sounds good Neil...you know the area better than I...where would be a good choice to have a GTG? What days of the wk are best for you, since we will be on vacation we are totally flexible. We like hiking, exploring and hoping for good colors (anything other than green is considered color...) I'll look around the area on Panoramino and I think I've ordered a book on the Berkshires. We have been "through the area" before but don't know it very well. We are staying in Hancock, MA

Bump....

This sounds like a nice day trip. If we end up getting a new(er) car I'd love to come up for a day.

This is sneaking up on us. I have a car I trust now and would love to pop up to the Berkshires for the day. Has any specific day been picked? Robert? Denise? Neil?

I donno about the Berkshires, but a bunch of us will be in the vicinity of Stowe (Smuggler's Notch) from roughly the 22nd to the 27th (I think). Penny and I head down to Boston on 25th. Wendy's up there on 22nd also, not sure when she departs. Ja-9 is there for the whole period. Not sure who all else but I know there will be others coming n going.

I just sent notes to everyone that has committed to coming to Stowe. If anyone else wishes to join us for day trips your welcome and we'd love to have you. I'll post here what we will be doing each day (once we know it) and the next so if anything happens and you can make it you'll know what we are doing.
