Hello Friends of the Road,
As I’m writing this I am heavily distracted by a particular ballgame being played right now in Boston. I am not guaranteeing that I will finish this tonight, but I’ll try. It is now October and the postseason has begun. On top of that, I received flower bulbs today, so it really is Fall. Hard work now, makes for enjoyment later though. I hope you are all well.
Speaking of hard work paying off, our season of outings concluded recently and we had no bad weather days. I can’t jinx next season can I? It was a great year of gatherings and all the planning by the board and the outing leaders paid off. If I’m worrying you, fear not, the Annual Meeting is coming up. I just didn’t consider that part of the outing schedule. More about that later.

Because RLS causes these strange nervous reactions rather than acute pain, it is very difficult to treat with erectile dysfunction? levitra from canadian pharmacy without prescription is one of the top anti-aging supplements.Some recent discussion I’ve been a part of has made me wonder if I’ve shared a bit of news with you. Our beloved marker 45A is on the “disabled list”. Sorry, I can’t help it. Sports are on my mind. Recently there was some municipal work being done next to the marker and after some discussion it was decided to remove the marker. It was in bad shape because it was so sunken into the earth after years of being there. The CPRA board and members of the Pittsford community are discussing if another location is best. There was a lot of concrete on the marker and thanks to some volunteers, that has been removed. As soon as it is returned to the earth, I’ll be sure to let you know where to find it. You may need to add a post-it note to your markers guidebook if the location changes. For those that don’t have a book, they are still on sale for a great price of $10 (plus shipping if needed).
And now for the Main Event! The Annual Meeting is always a great event as it includes a casual setting to socialize with other history enthusiasts, and to learn something new (hopefully). In an effort to maintain a comfortable and safe environment, we’ve decided to change the planned pot luck meal to a bring your own meal option. I hope you all understand. The rest of the meeting will be as planned. It is a great and historical venue, and I’m looking forward to seeing the inside for the first time. That is another great part of the Annual Meeting, as its location varies year to year. It gives people chances to see new places. I’ll now share the official press release. If you have questions about the event, please let me know. I hope to see many of you there!

History Researcher to relate “Ethan Allen and Scottish settlers in Rupert, Pawlet, and along Otter Creek” on Sunday, Oct. 17
POULTNEY, VT (October 6, 2021) – – The public is invited to the historic Poultney Welsh Church on Sunday afternoon, October 17, 2021 to hear a fresh clarification of the murky history of “Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys evicting Scottish settlers” as presented by Mr. Robert Hoar of Bennington VT.
No admission will be charged for those attending this event. The gathering begins with a relaxed 1:00 p.m. bring-your-own-lunch held in the dining area downstairs and will be followed by a Crown Point Road Association annual business meeting upstairs at 1:30, and concludes there with a 2:30 p.m. illustrated presentation by guest speaker Robert Hoar, historical researcher and history interpreter. C.P.R.A. president Barry Griffith of Shrewsbury VT stated that the speaker’s subject “will be of great interest to all who like to learn the remarkable history of early Vermont.”
The event will be held indoors at 42 Grove Street, the location of the Poultney Welsh Church, found beside the Poultney town office building in the village. The venue is located on the west side of VT Route 30, diagonally across the street from a corner gas and convenience store with a Dunkin Donuts. There is no off-street parking, so motorists may need to park up to a block away. The 120-year-old church building, once the home of the Poultney Welsh Male Chorus, is a prominent landmark in the Poultney historic district.
Crown Point Road Association is an all-volunteer non-profit membership organization established for the benefit of the public in 1958 to help promote, remember, research, and interpret the 77-mile-long 1759 military supply road. The northwest terminus of the road (whose route diagonally crosses Vermont) was the 1759 British fort “Crown Point” built on a prominent peninsula located along the western shoreline of Lake Champlain. The southeast terminus was the stockade fort at Number 4 on the Connecticut River in Charlestown NH.
