Hello  world. My brother and i are planning a trip to vermont over  our
thanksgiving break to spend about a week sight seeing, going to places  Phish
has been/grown up, and hopefully doing some backpacking/hiking/climb  a
mountain or two. It is friday, and this list is so overly useful for  this
kind of thing.....so......
Anyone who lives in or around, or has  been through vermont (anywhere in
vermont), what do you recommend? We're  looking to plan a trip involving
plenty of outdoors, small towns,  microbreweries and wineries, cheap lodging
(hostels), some good places to  eat (sandwich shops maybe?), and some sights
to see. I'm sure some of you  have some awesome ideas, so lets hear them!
The trip will be made in a 1985  volvo 240DL in amazing shape, as sadly our
vanagon will not be close to  making this trip (no vanagons will be harmed in
the making of this  trip).

What would two college students with a love for adventure want  to do in
vermont? The simple answer is "i've always wanted to go to Nectars  in
Burlington". So, that accounts for about 5 hours of our week.....other  than
that we're mostly out of ideas.

OK, you asked ---- Number  one on the List since you obviously like Vanagons
- go visit John's Car  Corner, Rte. 5,  Westminster, VT, tell John I sent you
and report back  !  Trust me !!!!   Then while in the neighbourhood in and
around  Townsend, VT is cool.  Bald Mountain campground, state park just
up-stream on the West River, local cheese factory, don't remember the name but  good
stuff, lots of good big mountain roads to test your Vanagon on too !   Enjoy !

Cheers,
