Vermont in May

I'm working on the map of the route for the Vermont trip. It's going to happen over Memorial Day Weekend. Plan is to setup a meeting spot and time like we did in Maine. Sunday will be used as a transport to home day. Would you be interested in a Wed-Sun or Thurs-Sun trip? Either will have enough for plenty of trails, it will be a mix of class 4, class 3 and paved roads. Perfect family trip with overlanding and hopefully not too many broken trucks. Let me know what you guys want and I'll plan the route accordingly.

Sounds good Ed , either set is fine with me , is there any cool places to see , any lost planes to be found ?

How about one of this ghost towns ?

I pass by his house the other day it looks like a Volvo junk yard now

Dang Ed, you and I, we're on the same plane. I just put a totally unrelated thread on NJLR on the same expedition!

I'm in, Memorial Day is clear for me this year! Let me know if you need help planning, especially when it comes to historical research...

Him and Doc Fodge must have been up there together

Id be in for this.

i have about half of the trip mapped out. will finish the second half when I get back from vacation. 

Still pretty far out, but I might be interested in this as well.

i know it's far out but that is a weekend most people go away, so I wanted to get it out there and let everyone know before it was too late.

If work schedule allows, I'm in. Sounds like a good time.

I should be in too good thing is the weekend after the wifes bday , this is going to be my fathers day gift , thats what I did fot the Maine trip

Just show up you pussy.

I'm a maybe for this trip, I might still be on my honeymoon or near enough that getting another week off work would be problematic.

If I can get time off work I'll be there puking my brains out, although it was probably that fucking pochin that got me. It gets me every single time lol.

Wait, so are we availing ourselves of the actual Memorial Day for the extra day off? Just looked at the calendar, it's a day I'd think most people have off to build into the plan.

Looking also at the calendar, I'm going to have to tread really carefully with work...the biggest publishing conference of the year is the Thurs-Sat after Memorial Day, which is like three weeks of heavy-duty prep at our office beforehand, and I'm not sure how it's going to fly taking off too much time in late May, especially since I'll be in Europe for at least a week at the beginning of the month already. (Going to Solihull!)
