Sounds fun. It'll be a bit of hike for me coming from the MA north-shore but I'll give it a go. Think we can get a drive in before the weather turns?

Looking at my weekend schedule, I am wondering if the weekend of Oct 20 might work? That will be the height of foliage season here in the Vermont so the roads may be busier than usual, but it will be pretty.....

If folks are interested, I could suggest a possible route.....

When first saw this I didn’t look closely enough and thought that the southern leg was the Minuteman Trail (Rt 2 between Greenfield and N. Adams) which is very fun. Have you driven the MT? How does 116 compare? I haven’t driven 116.
