One of VT's advantages over ORDA bumps is on mountain lodging. Not happening inside the Blue Line. Also, ORDA has done a lousy job of marketing Mount van Hoevenberg. I could cite chapter and verse about people I talked to back in NJ who planned trips to Trapp Family Lodge, Bretton Woods...

Uff. Haven't done that in a few years. Chapeau!

Slide Cornell Wittenberg traverse?

In the Tri-Lakes, it's been hazy. I haven't had any issues myself. If one has asthma or other pulmonary disorders, it might be a different story.

If the Texan were to build houses that regular people can afford, I'd be down with that. There's enough second homes inside the Blue Line. FWIW, here in Saranac Lake, there's discussion about closing an elementary school because small student body.

My bad, I missed that. I do have some concerns that the Texan is gonna turn it into ACR South.

I have now seen everything. Yesterday, a Lamborghini Huracán with a roof rack. Sorry for no foto, but I was driving.

If I can stay up that late...

Katz's letter is only marginally better than the language in the layoff article. They should cowboy up and call it what it is: a layoff, not a separation. Meanwhile, Katz keeps yapping about Fail's values. Can anyone explain what they are? Glad I'm a pass holder at an ORDA bump.

Regarding the Peekamoose Blue Hole: I don't think writing tickets is gonna cut it. Somebody's car gets towed, that's gonna get their attention. At the height of the covid lockdown, Gardiner and New Paltz cops were threatening towing for people parking illegally in the 'Gunks. @Harvey now I...

For a hot second, I thought the headline was "Dude, where's my body?"

"A fiery insurance battle." +1. The now defunct Craigmeur, in Rockaway NJ, was another upside down ski center. Not as much drama tho.
