Places to go in Vermont?

[GLTHFJ60]

Would it be possible to send me places to go in VT? I would love to have more places to go in the northeast.

While I'm at it, anyone know where to go in NY? I have some ideas, but confirmed spots are much nicer.

Thanks guys!

Is there any public wheeling land in NY any more? The Adirondacks used to have some, but that was all shut down years ago.

I'm not sure, but I have some ideas that I am going to check out when the warm weather comes back to town.

you will have to check for seasonal roads...there are a few way up in aderondacts that are still active...look around a town called grafite...old mining trails are plentiful...but dangerous

Are you guys members of Gotham?
They seem to have plenty of runs during the year.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Not a member of gotham because they have meetings in jersey and farther south along with their runs, and going to school in rochester and living for the other couple of months in albany means a very long drive to go to meetings. For example, CMCC is in PA.

We really should start an upstate / vt club.

there was one awhile ago...the North Country Cruisers

had a few of us in upstate ny and vt and some in MA and NH

we sort of went defunkt quite a few years ago...and alot of the club went to Yankee Toy's

I think there is a 4x4 club in the Adirondacks? mostly jeepers

 

[JJS]

The club up there is Adirondack Jeepers. I don't think their runs are Jeep-exclusive, though.

That's pretty cool! Ex Navy diver? Oil rigs?

When I got out of the Army I went to a diving school up here in the north east,
tough finding work here and I wasn't interested in going back to Louisiana again so
it didn't work out. School was a lot of fun and it's pretty interesting whats involved in sending a diver down. Most people have no idea.

I went to school at The Ocean Corporation in Houston Texas. We have a few Ex-Navy guys who I work with. The Navy guys do things a little differently. They don't often do the same kind of work we do - oil rig repair, pipeline abandonment, pipeline tie ins, pipeline inspection, wellhead killing, underwater welding and burning, hot taps, etc. If you went to a commercial school in the northeast, it was probably the school in Camden NJ. Some of my friends went to that school. Work is scarce outside of the Gulf of Mexico. I live in Texas, work in Louisiana. When I move to NH, things will be a bit different. May continue to work in the Gulf a year or two more, or might stop and do something else. I am sure we will meet at some point, as I am planning to move to Keene or the surrounding area.

Believe it or not, there's a small market for diving around Winnepesaukee.

First off, welcome to NH, (I realize you are not there yet though).

For those of you into scuba, not sure if this is up your alley. But I heard this spot was one of the few spots to scuba in New England??? I really dont know anything about it other than I did hear that from a friend and the place is quite near where I live.

It is an abandoned brownstone quarry and the stone from the quarry was used in the 1800's and into the 1900 to build almost all of the brownstone buildings in NY city and tons and tons in CT and MA. It is a pretty cool place to see, the walls are really tall and now that it is filled with water, they say that no one really knows how deep it is. Some of the cliffs near the back are sheer drops, I believe over 100ft just to the water surface, but no telling how deep.

SCUBA diving in the Quarries!

Just in case you were planning to check it out, maybe contact the Portlan town hall.

Dirty Jobs did an ep on Lake Winnepesaukee with some outfit that dives and sets boat moorings.

lol. That's where I got my above statement from.

We'll be waiting for you! Plenty of wheeling here if you know the
right places. Not much in the way of diving tho!
Making a career change?
