Map of The Gap

Map showing Goshen Four Corners, Mount Horrid and the Great Cliff, the Neshobe River flowing west, Romance Mountain, Hogback Mtn, the Long Trail and Sucker Brook Shelter (where I fed myself on the best brook trout one morning forty years ago!), and the Great Cliffs of Mount Horrid, with the Smith Brook running East, where Chester Smith's stone cairns--hundreds of them--are located.

This is The Gap. The Dividing Line. Where brooks flow East to join others and become rivers—Branches of the White River (itself a branch—one of 3). And begin West. Out here is also Moosalamoo, a unique land-magement, wildlife area, and town/government partnership with some great goals and ideas, not to mention the fun of non-motorized outdoor recreation and camping area with trails from the challenging to the religious.

The great view from the Cliffs of Mount Horrid allow an even clearer weather channel than VPR’s Mark Green. With an “eye on the sky” westward, you can see the weather coming. Or not. If not, you can see clearly over lake Champlain at the Adirondack Mountains. Down in the valley there, was where Native Americans, including Abenaki tribes, came and went with the seasons for thousands of years.
