Vermont Chapter Report
2008

A few things to report -

1 - The wind damged the roof at Okemo Mtn., but it is also unknown if it was repaired.

2 - The wind damaged roof on Bald Mountain's lookout, which was supposed to get fixed in 2008, is still in need of repair.

3 - Sable Mtn., Elev. 2725', Town of Averill in the NE Kingdom, was visited in October by Peter Hayes, Kevin Williamson and Mark Haughwout. This was a hike of only about one mile bushwacking on the first weekend of moose hunting season in Vermont. There were reports of old telephone wire/cable to be seen on the mountain (which was a wooded summit with very few views from the actual summit, but good views from just below the summit while attempting the bushwack), but the only thing seen was a bottle in a tree for hikers to sign in. No footings were found, so it is assumed this was a wood tower site. No records of a steel tower exist on the site or in the state records.


Regards,
Peter Hayes
