Team Wick/Tolland carpool to Barre

Stephen Ditter · Post by **Stephen Ditter** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 5:47 am

I usually drive 91 North to Barre however, google maps is sending me rt 84 east. Any suggestions on which way is best? Does anyone want to carpool this Sunday?

Ditter, the problem w/ courses that are in the middle of nowhere is... they are. As you know, the Quabbin Resevoir stands between 91 and 84; there's no quick way to get to Barre, so personally, I'd take 84 to the Mass Pike, then 49 N, to 31 N, then 122 N, which leads to Barre Ctr. Then it's 62 east for a few miles, the dam is on the right. Unless you wanted all highway, then skip the smaller roads and head straight to 290, then 122N.

If you wanted a challenge, as you get out of Rutland st park, a mile or so past 148, take Coldbrook Rd (dirt road), that'll take you to the kiosk.

Not that getting to Barre isn't a challenge already......

good luck and I'll probably see you Friday. -jimbo

I think you'd catch 49 off of Rt 20, so you would skip the Pike if you were following Jim's directions.....

last week on the way back to Vernon from Barre we took 32S all the way into CT....it was scenic and not that bad of a ride....it was a touch over an hour

Team Wick should definately roll together....

I'm up for the caravan. Mullen and I headed to the course today. It takes around an hour and some change from exit 67. The garmin had us making some crazy turns, but it all worked out in the end.

Where are we meeting, commuter lot or Jesse's house?

How about meeting in the exit 67-69 area around 7:30? That would give us about an hour of warm-up time before the players meeting.

Welcome to meet up at my place....PJ, Claydizzle, and Maybe Bagger are coming this way.....If anyone wants to cut the morning trip in half There welcome to crash here tonight. I have 2 couches, 1 futon and a spare queen. Heading east on 84 take exit 69......right off exit.....second driveway on right

From the tunnel in Hartford it's about 20 minutes to my house if your a fast driver....15 from Wickham exit

exit 69....second right...Can't see house from road well but it's a beige Contempory.....driveway is on a downhill corner between sharp turn street arrows....1554 on mailbox across street . I think I'm the last driveway in Tolland before you hit Willington. See ya in Morning

If anyone knows Mark Lyons number give him a call.

I called him around 7 about the carpool and left a message.

I'd leave his number here to phone bomb him but that doesn't seem quite fair.

Apparently his was MIA from Crane Hill workday as well...

Jack Nickel · Post by **Jack Nickel** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 9:30 pm

I got greg, gordon, and hogg with me.
We'll call you guy's in the morning for the caravan hook-up.
Everyone is meeting herem (my house) at 630 am.
Should be plenty of time to meet at jesse's or on the road,

Patrick I believe I'll be heading up 91 for the most part.

Looking forward to this.

PEACE!!

Clayton Davidson · Post by **Clayton Davidson** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 9:36 pm

Jesse, I'm confused on the directions to your house. Is it a right off the exit, then take the second "street" on the right, or "driveway" on the right?

Clayton Davidson · Post by **Clayton Davidson** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 9:38 pm

Do you know any quicker ways for me to get there from Ellington?

Jesse Carrieri · Post by **Jesse Carrieri** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:34 pm
