Self-serving rationalizing....

yup - absolutely

I camped for years of French and Indian war reenacting - no modern nothing -

a bed and breakfast is rough enough of us these days

So our landscape people were here today for spring cleanup. My owner friend told me one of his crews was doing some gas pipeline remedial work out near Hausmann's on Tuesday of this week. And believe it or not they ran into frost in the ground at a depth of 2.5 feet. Coldest winter in exactly 100 years according to the records. Maybe things will thaw by June? :whistle:

I had a first-hand report from an excavator operator of frozen ground 5' deep in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

Given the political leanings of the majority of Vermonters, That just proves there is a God, and he!! almost did freeze over.

God willing and the creek don't rise I'll be camping again this year. Anyone from Ohio who might like to make the trip and share my camp, give me a shout. I guess it would make sense travel wise if you were from south of US 70.

I'll be camping at The Inn in Montrose.:)

Rich, If you change your mind, let me know. I'll make room for you in my environmentally equalized tent. What do you think?

I appreciate the offer but I'll stick to The Inn. Clean sheets, indoor plumbing and a bar/restaurant downstairs....perfect.

Our bar/restaurant is on the same level and right outside our room, we don't bother with sheets, and indoor plumbing is highly overrated. :bigbye:
