Rt 73 is open from the western end only.
Rt 107 is closed from Tozier's on to Stockbridge.
This should be used when planning routes in Vermont. http://www.aot.state.vt.us/

Wish my old neighbors well
Reading about all of you traveling to Vt. sure makes me homesick!
Safe travels, and hold a warm spot in your heart for all my old friends and neighbors having a rough time of it after the storm.
Airhead trip to the Green Mountain State is tops on my bucket list!!

Ummmmm, I'm afraid we can't get there from here.... At all.... US4 is closed from Woodstock to Killington to Rutland, Rte 107 is closed from Rte 12 to Rte 100. And even if we could get to the section of Rte 100 that's open, all of rte 73 in the NF is closed?

Well, I just got an email from the Waybury Inn in Middlebury, and all is well for our accommodations, as well as the approach from the New York side. I'm sure there will be some road construction/reconstruction to deal with in some way. Hopefully the next few days will get some more of the roads passable and we will be able to see at least a small part of what sounds like a great destination state for motorcycle riding. I'm sure the people living there and having to deal with the aftermath of the storm are hoping for a return to some kind of normal as well.
Darn Muriel, wish I could make it. Say hi to all.

I see you are headed up/over from Grove City, which route are you taking? Looking at the 511 NY and VT web sites, there are a number of roads closed still (though we have 3 1/2 days yet). We were planning to cross into NY past Carbondale, PA, then up NY Rt 30, but at this point might take NY Rt 10 to avoid delays/closures. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm hoping to come in via I89 and when we get close, stop and ask for some local knowledge input as to how to get to the CG.
Hopefully there'll be some route that gets us there. With Rte 73 closed or designated emergency vehicles only, is there another route that gets us to the CG?

We'll be heading north on NY 10 (had planned on NY 30, but too many problems), then east on NY 8, then NY 9N into VT, and hope to stay just north of 73, then south to CG. The roads I'm looking at may not be open either, as they are county roads so don't show up on the state 511VT road closures. Friday might turn into a long day............
I've changed the route plan half a dozen times already as road conditions change, hope to see more roads open prior to our departure Friday morning, but think I found a passable route.
Very hopeful that it stops raining soon, for the sake of a fun/safe rally, but more importantly for the poor souls who live near creeks up there. Not to mention the already depleted state budgets that now have tens of millions of dollars of road/bridge repairs to deal with.
Riding to Wellsboro, Pa. Wensday night and up into the Adarondacks Thursday. Rt 10 and 8 are both nice, then catch the ferry over the lake at Ticondaroga. Hope to see you there. Enjoy the ride.
