I didn't find a "vacation spot" topic so I thought I'd start one. This
is a place that sounds wonderful and they have a fullsize landing area
where the guests fly model planes. A buddy spent a week here the last
three years and I'm thinking of giving it a try for a long weekend
myself.
Located on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain, Basin Harbor is located
in Vergennes Vermont, off Rt 7 south of Burlington. The brochure lists
an olympic pool, canoes, various boats and sailboards, fishing, an 18
hole champion golf course, tennis, and 3 gourmet meals. The pastry chef
is the R/C instructor. My buddy was also treated to a ride in a Waco
and a 20 minute sailplane ride by people who were there that week.

They have a main lodge, a country inn, and individual cabins. Rates are
a little steep but all the meals are provided and excellent from what I
heard. Something to occupy everyone while you fly off what was
described to me as a putting green airstrip.

Yep, and there's a hobby shop with a field located about ten minutes
from the harbor also.

| 1343.2 | Alpine Slope Soaring | USRCV1::BLUMJ | Sat Aug 10 1991 00:45 | 11 | |
Several years ago my father received literature from a family resort
town in Austria which offered among many activities(hiking,swimming,
tennis,etc.) RC SLOPE SOARING! The color brochure was certainly
inviting, situated in a picturesque little Alpine town. The only
drawback would be the incompatibility of the radio gear with European
standards. I might be able to dig this brochure out to provide more
details. I will look for it.

Jim
