The Mountain has been looking great in recent visits.
Gardens in the courtyard are in full bloom.
Lots of landscaping around the farmhouse and along the main walkway up to the gate house. The plethora of river birch sure look nice. I'd like to have seen some more Sugar Maples considering it IS Sugarbush, but there are at least a couple. And I guess they do get pretty big so they might overtake the views eventually.
Java the Hut was removed from the top of gatehouse lift. I guess to make the area look more natural for the wedding parties. The site was leveled and nice grass planted top and bottom of gate house lift and it sure looks lush right now.
CRP has my summer favorite "Chicken sandwich". If you haven't had it your missing out. Take a chicken thigh, hammer it flat, bread it and "bake" it under bacon and cheese, then put it on an artisan bun with fresh lettuce and tomato with a delicious spicy sauce, add a heap'n mound of properly cooked fries and a side of pickle, add a cold draught beer and you got a perfect post hike lunch. I've had close to 10 so far this summer. just can't seem to order anything else.
Found a doe leg on upper deeper sleeper trail. Looks like a coyote got to it and didn't finish the job. had characteristic gnaw marks on the bone. There are wild critters in them woods.
Lots of weddings. Some very attractive brides. The pubs should be making money. Actually saw a bride, in her very elegant gown, ride the zip line. Yup. Must have been one heck of a party with that crew.
River water is wonderful. Great swims with the dogs. Wish I could jump in every hot day. Quiet and relaxing.
Sandy Macy has been active on the scene. Said it has been a little quiet the last couple weekends, but we saw a lot of "regulars" so I guess everyone is just enjoying the outside and not just hanging around the base village.
1 bear, 1 bear cub, 2 moose, 1 coyote, 1 red fox, 2 giant snapping turtles, several wild turkey, a bunch of garter snakes and a few partridge...all hiking up gate house/Castlerock in the past few weeks.
Love the outdoors at Sugarbush.
It's gunna snow soon, right?
