Orvis is not that far away.
And The Museum too
I've often thought that fly fishing and motorcycling would go well together.
A celebration of
all things angler...
dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of fly fishing
Established in 1968 in Manchester, Vermont, by a group of interested anglers, the American Museum of Fly Fishing was created to preserve and exhibit the treasures of American angling.
Today, the museum serves as a repository for, and conservator to, the world's largest collection of angling and angling-related items, numbering in the thousands. Our collections and exhibits thoroughly document the evolution of fly fishing as a sport, art form, craft, and industry in the U.S. and abroad, dating as far back as the 16th century. Rods, reels, flies, tackle, art, photographs, manuscripts, and books form the major portions of the Museum’s collections.
The museum, a nationally accredited, nonprofit, educational institution, supports a publications program where books, catalogs, prints, art, and a national quarterly journal, The American Fly Fisher, are made available to the public.
Visitors to the museum may access in-house exhibits, related interpretive programming and research services year-round. Members of the museum help support the museum and its initiatives through membership dues and active involvement.
Do you suppose that there will be a planned ride between the rallies ALA last year?
The Hoosick River borders the RA Rally site and has a nice population of trout. Why not pack a little fly rod and try your luck? There's usually an evening 'rise' and a hatch of Pale Evening Duns. A small 'Blue/Green', 'White Miller', hopper imitation, black ant or parachute caddis on 6X tippet would be good bets.

Don't forget to fish the Battenkill, many many good reports of fly fishing on that stream too!
Now that truly is the perfect rally location. I'll have my five weight and three weight at the ready!
It will truly be possible to pitch your tent, sit in a chair with your favorite brew and fish the Hoosic River.
Once the same river flows into New York it becomes the Hoosick River. No idea why the k is added.

Its offical...We're going to the RA Rally. We made our Reservations this morning. We had planed on going to Redmond...but...my wife has never been to New England. she is a big fan of Ben & Jerrys and has a VT Teddy Bear. Also the total cost will be 1/3 of the cost to go to Redmond. Sooo see ya'all in Pownal. special thanks to Paulbach for your help...Kenny...

Sometimes the air gets cold - 1 or 2 degrees. Then the bikes can be hard to start.
What trick is this cleaver Vermonter using to get this motorcycle operating?
This one is simple. No one should get "exhausted" figuring it out!
Right on! Park the hard starting bike next to the truck's exhaust.
I would give Ted a big cigar but nothing can beat the ones in his secret stash. If you are staying with Ted, a smart move at any rally, he might part with one.
