I'm hiking in Southern Vermont in a couple of weeks and I'm not familiar with the area at all. Can anyone recommand a nice, cheap motel in the Manchester area? Thanks in advance.

Nooooo! Not another list.... all my weekends are already booked 'til 2012... why did you have to post that link? why? :D

Yes, we did. The bushwack to West Peak from Middle Peak is 4+ miles return and since I heard it was easier approaching from the south, I decided to save it for another time.

It would have been a perfect day if we had also bagged Gilpin... ;) :D Thanks for the beer.

I've carried (and used) just about everything mentioned here but the one thing I haven't used yet is my emergency blanket. Frankly, I hope I don't have to use it.

Great turnout last night. It was a good time. Twelve people showed up . Always nice to meet new folks with the same interests as well the regulars. Prino, Louis, we'll catch up next time.

To help identifying us, I'm bringing a VFTT sticker that I will put on the table. See you all tonight.

I calculated the total distance for our hike to be 12.2 miles so ... if everything goes according to plan and we still have some fuel left we "might" throw in Gilpin in the mix. Like North and Middle Jay, it's also on the NE 770 list. It's just accross the road (242) when we get back to the car...

All right then. Whisky Cafe it is, next Thursday the 21st. I'll be there with Nathalie around 6PM. The address is 5800 Saint-Laurent. Here's their website. http://www.whiskycafe.ca/

Spencer, Pristine is a chlorine dioxide water purification system. It's does not have the bad taste iodine. Here is a link... http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=673071&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=17633&bmUID=1097758467014

To all the VFTTers north of the border, I think we are more than overdue for a beer night. It's been almost a year since our last gathering at Jack Astor's in the West Island. I will tentatively suggest Thursday, October 21st as a date. Anyone interested? Anybody have suggestions for a good...

Personally, I also bring a headlamp, extra clothes (gloves, socks, shirt and pants in a dry bag), extra batteries, a survival blanket and Pristine. I do tend to pack heavy (23-25 lbs) but my thinking is that there is always a remote possibility that I might be stuck overnight in the woods for...

Harryk, ...are you talking about sheep again... ;)

I like the shirt/donation idea. You can count me in for a couple. I don't mind paying a premium if it helps running the site.:)

Congrats! You have to find a new name now.:)

I'm planning a dayhike in October to bag the following: Jay Peak - Big Jay - Middle Jay - North Jay and West Jay. I'm not familiar with the area and I'm trying to put together a game plan. The bushwacks to Big Jay and North Jay seem pretty straight forward. West Jay might be another story. At...

Post'r boy you are starting to sound like Mr. X .....:D

OK. Maple Haven it is. Thanks for all the responses.

Dawn/Tom, I wish you all the best for Saturday and will see you at the Station afterwards.

Kili in December Jim, You made the right decision. Reading your trip report sure brought back a lot of fond memories. I climbed Kili in December 2002 via the seldom used Lemosho route. We did it in 7 days and slept in the crater on the last day. From a technical and distance standpoint...
