Metzendorf Trailer Specs


Here is a flyer that I got from Gary who owns a Metz. It has some great info on it. This is not for mine. I have the 15m. Mine is equipped with everything except for the gas light and canvas bunk. I plan on installing a gas light at some point over the dinette. I also plan on installing more 12v lights. I also need to get a new water tank. I have both the city water and hand pump on the sink.

Bromley Mountain

I spent my last full day mainly cleaning up and drying things out. I did manage to take a 3 hour hike up Bromley where I was treated to great views of Equinox, Stratton and a 360 view of the green mountains. A storm came along and started to rain when I got to the bottom. That night a violent storm lit the black sky. I decided to head to my friends restaurant...and have a good meal.





Arts and crafts day...

While carrying my canoe back to the car, I slipped in the mud and whacked my knee on a rock. So... I sat in my chair and got creative. The wood I used was from my hike on Stratton Mt.


Grout Pond

Canoeing on Grout Pond on Stratton MT. There are primitive campsite here...but no trailers.



Hamilton Falls and Ball Mt Lake

It started out a dry walk. Down the West River from my campground is Ball Mt. Lake and Dam. The West River Trail passes over the dam. There a nine switchbacks on the one side. Hamilton Falls is the tallest water falls in VT. It was just beautiful...even though a thunderstorm erupted when I got there...and I was 2 miles from my car.






Another rainy walk

I treked into Branch Pond on Stratton Mountain. It was a lovely forest walk of birch, hemlock and ferns.





White Rocks




On a rainy day, I made a short trip up to White Rocks. It was just a little misty...and I got a great bonus of several bushes full of blueberries.
