I hope it stays open, too. Definitely one of the memorable restaurants along the trail.
Yeah, it was a great stop last summer. Friendly staff, comfortable place
Last year I hiked to the steep climb soon afterward still eating a giant piece of strawberry shortcake. Ahhh... the memories.
"Peat Moss extraction and bagging operation." ??
I stopped there on the SOBO portion of my LT hike last year. It was late morning still quite cool and the girls behind the counter told me it was too cold for ice cream. "Oh no, it's never too cold for ice cream."
I hope the new owners continue to operate it.
We missed out on it (got there too early or something) but heard it was super.
I think the key to them wanting to sell that is the diesel equipment that goes with it. My in-laws' sawmill is letting pine wood sit in the yard rather than pay to run the diesel generator to saw it.Originally Posted by RITBlake
I also think only in New England would a real estate agent be named "W. Otis Andrus."
thats a bummer, i was planning on stopping there in a few weeks when i hike the trail again,
planning around aug 1st, maybe it will be open again by then.
Although I am a member and a big fan of the ATC, by passing the Inn was one of the worst decisions they ever made.
make a side trip into Wallingford, Vt. and eat at Sal's Pizza restaurant. Awesome food. Much better that the Whistle Stop.
Heck yeah, tastes just like ramen
Makes you wonder what the W stands for. (This comment is entirely non-political)I think the key to them wanting to sell that is the diesel equipment that goes with it. My in-laws' sawmill is letting pine wood sit in the yard rather than pay to run the diesel generator to saw it.

anybody got an extra 165 grand lying around that they can let me borow for a few years!
Prolly not a wise idea....restaurants are closing left and right up here lately.
I agree (and have reiterated several times that hikers would enjoy taking the now-blue blazed trail; the original AT) but was the decision by the ATC or GMC?Although I am a member and a big fan of the ATC, by passing the Inn was one of the worst decisions they ever made.
Are you saying that solely on the basis that it's a shorter hike to the Inn? Unless I'm missing something, it wasn't scenic or interesting at all. Other than a few powerline crossings I don't remember much. The Pico camp looked very old
I guess the trail I took up to Maine Junction is different
Is the current whiteblaze difficult or something?
Dunno about the relative difficulty. There's very little difference in the length. I liked coming out in the open, seeing the Sherbourne Pass and the LT Inn ahead, and crossing the road right at the apex. I didn't find the ski area instrusive, certainly less so than other ski areas in VT e.g. Jay Peak.
I stayed at Pico Camp on my first LT hike in '78 - the black flies were terrible.
The original AT brought you out right at the Inn at the Long Trail, the current trail is just down the road a bit (busy road- be careful of traffic). I think Blue Jay was referring to the fact that it's easy to bypass the Inn if you don't have to walk right by it, so hikers miss out on a great experience and the Inn misses out on the business.

Legendary AT eatery??
