What's my best bet for Oct 9 to 11?

[Kai]

I have printed many threads on this forum and am trying to figure out what my best bet is for the foliage routes.

I am coming on the 9th(Saturday) and leaving on the 11th, and will be based in Rutland. From the reports I have seen on this forum, I'd guess that my best bet will be from Rutland to Burlington. Is this a good bet? Before I go crazy on planing the route details, please help me on this.

Also, I'd really want to check out the dead creek wildlife management area for snow geese. PWT, what is the best time of the day to get there? I don't want to see a big shadow caused by mountains. I hope I can see snow geese in good light.

Many thanks in advance,

Kai Hui

BM is right on the restuarant, the route, and the side road. A bit more on the side road. As you drive on you will come to a parking area on the right and the main road curves left. The is a small road straight ahead with a gate. That road/trail is a nice easy walk and has some small ponds out there. There is no telling what you will see out there. The parking lots may be fuul of campers. These rae duck hunters. Not to worry, they can't hunt where you will be.
