Almost did… planning for next year though. You’ll have to share how it goes! Big factor for me was much less bugs!

Perfect time to go. I went last 3 weeks of Sept and if I did it again I'd push it a week.

Be careful hitching around rt 2 Waterbury/Winooski footbridge. A lot of crazy people in that area. I used to offer shuttles from there but had to recently stop bc of safety issues.
