Vermont WINS!

After consulting the forecasts, I decided this weekend to go up to the Green Mountains of Vermont.

  1. Forecast looks slightly better in Vermont
  2. I can avoid congested expressways and local roads by taking the back-roads up to Vermont
  3. More dirt roads to explore in Vermont, as they aren’t seasonally closed like much of the Adirondacks
  4. I don’t have to necessarily camp at one of the sites on Branch Pond Road with nearby neighbors, so I can listen to music loud if I want
  5. I think I want to hike back to Lye Brook Falls or maybe Stratton Mountain (I checked it’s been 6 years since I last went up Stratton Mountain, and I remember great views).
  6. In a few weeks I’m planning to camp up on Jessup River Road, so I don’t want to drive NY 30 yet another time right away.
