Wow...I think all of us got lit up that night!! Good times!! :rofl:
I calculated the bill in my head for about 10 pizzas and 30 beers to within a dollar (keep in mind I did that after driking four beers). That may have been my greatest life accomplishment.

Do you need a site? I reserved a lean-to site at Burke Mountain for Doug and myself before the lodge became an option. I think they are ~ $15 a night. I was going to cancel it, but I can have the name changed on the reservation to yours if you like. :confused:
Anyone plan on staying at the campground want a lean-to site? I'm going to cancel my reservation tomorrow (7/14) if no one would like it.

Ok....cost breakdown. It's looking like $20 per person per night if you stay inside the lodge and $10 per person per night if you stay outside the lodge. If there turns out to be more people who are able to come then I will deduct the extra $ from the food bill (which I will have figured out by Wednesday of next week). Make sense? You can bring me cash/check next weekend, end me a check or even paypal me if that's easier.

I am SO psyched! We're going to have an AWESOME time!!!

So, it's just me coming up from the DC area again this year (AFAIK). I'll be driving 95 to NYC, picking up 684 to CT, where I get 84 to 91 and then straight up to NEK. Anyone along that route want a ride? It would be great to split gas with someone.

ETD, DC: 0530-0600 hrs
ETA, NEK: 1500-1600 hrs

:ouch: :dead:

So, quick question: anyone have an address or directions to get to the lodge? I don't remember seeing any before and I am leaving on Wed for Lake George and won't be able to check the computer.

Go north on the main road through town until you see the town baseball field on the left, maybe a mile or two. The lodge is across the street.

Friday Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 70s. Chance of rain 40 percent.
Friday night Partly cloudy. A chance of showers and thunderstorms until midnight. Lows in the mid 50s. Chance of rain 30 percent.
Saturday Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 70s.
Saturday night Mostly clear until midnight, then becoming partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 50s.
Sunday Partly sunny. Highs in the mid 70s.

Hmmm I was just up there , There is no Lodge right across from the Ball fields there is a lodge right Next to the ball fields, and the ball fields are only about 1/2 mile from center of town if that .

The place is about 1/2 mile from the Pub Outback and there are trails out the back door that take you right to the Bike shop.

Here are directions: from the bikeshop head North on 114 towards Burke Mountain. Go around the corner and the place is on the Left(before the town park). It is a GREAT location!
Here ya' go....

Right back at you ;)
Gotcha thanks for the directions, I will sit down and look at all the different roots... I love VT. My aunt and uncle just sold their "weekend home" last fall. it was down in West Dover (I think) it was inbetween Haystack and Mt. Snow, up on the hill across from both of them... I was a monster of a house that Bek and I used as our launching pad for excursions on our honeymoon. We drove the wheels off of my car that week! it was a blast, and I don't care which route I take, I know it will be pretty!

Oh your other E-mail just got here! I will see what I can do...

Cool, thanks for the offer, but I'm going with a bunch of non-riding friends who probably wouldn't be too thrilled with me ditching out on them.

Yo Echo do you know what my riding situation is, and when we are leaving etc? I often work late till like 6 or 7 and would kind of like to know so I don't have to worry about anything thursday night.
