Hi Loafer I just watched a youtube video series of an Appalachian Trail hiker who was in Rangeley a few days ago (perhaps 09-28?). The colors on the trail are starting to look really nice, but there seems the peak has not arrived. If you're interested, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Very nice - thanks for sharing Andy!

Wow, how nice! Thanks for sharing.
Had you ever heard of the historic road mentioned in the article?

Hi. I saw you mentioned Newport, VT. As I was re-reading the Autumn, 1984 edition of Vermont Life, I came across an article that mentions "Lake Memphremagog". It is an excellent article with pictures that discusses research and traveling on/around an old stagecoach road that ran from Montpelier to D...

Hi CT.
Yes, I'd heard that Jeanette had passed some years ago, and the store was currently not open.
Sad to see that family not involved with that store.

Hex - Were you familiar with this store?

God Bless...

Hi,
What a beautiful picture!
The combination of the sky, colors, and water is outstanding - very well done.
Thank you for sharing this.

Update: Autumn 1978 Edition Hi. Just finished this edition, here are the highlights: 1. Jeanette of Averill I always enjoy reading this story of a lady and her husband who run a general store in this far northeastern part of Vermont. 2. Fleeting Moments on Blustery Days Written and photographed by ...

Hi Hex. I found the Vermont Life edition that had the article about Averill. It is Autumn, 1978. I've always enjoyed reading this each year when I re-read the Autumn editions and enjoy the Fall pictures. It is about the Lake View Store, as run by Jeanette Roy and her husband Victor. It appears they ...

Hi Andy and CT. Andy - Sounds nice. Thanks for the reply and sharing. That is a nice-looking camera! CT - I appreciate your kind comments. I too am hoping to at least make it thru Mass. As for CT blue trail hiking, some background and trails hiked. I arrived at the sub base in Groton in September, 1...

Hi CT.

RE: NW Connecticut.
I was stationed at the sub base in sw CT in the early 70's.
I hiked most of the blue trails in that area.
I twice went up to NW CT in the Salisbury area and hiked to the top of Bear Mountain.
A very scenic place.
Glad to hear some color is showing up there.
God Bless...

Hi Hex. Enjoyed your report from the Averill area. If you read my post on "Fall Foliage and Vermont Life", I mention I'm reading my old Autumn editions of the magazine. I do this each year at this time. In one of them, there's an article about a woman who ran a general store in Averill. When I get t...

Hi CT. I appreciate your comments. RE: Magazine No Longer Published Yes - I read that it had been experiencing a financial loss for several years, and the state legislature stopped funding it (even though they had sold advertising!). I'm just glad that someone archived the magazines (with a few miss...
