You can't see the runway from this spot, but airport traffic goes right over the shopping area in Williston. I've seen them fly over here a few times, and I don't even go there very often.

There probably isn't a set schedule released to the public, although I'm sure the unit has an internal schedule to manage their required flight hours.

The Champion Evaporator was first manufactured in Hudson, Ohio in 1881, and in June of 1890, G.H. Grimm secured a lease for land alongside the railroad in Rutland, Vermont and over that summer erected a 120 by 40-foot one-story building.

There was another, completely unrelated, Champion Evaporator Company that operated in Berkshire, Vermont and later Richford, Vermont about this same time in the 1880s. This company was relatively short lived with evaporators in production from 1882 to about 1887.

Also just bc everyone’s on here nagging; be a good soul and be mindful. You’re not likely to find a proper off reading trail that doesn’t go through private property. Do yourself a favor and take a dirt back road (like the one I recommended), be cautious, and count your blessings bc yea if you’re off the road, it’ll be a bit before someone finds you, you’re not likely to have cell service, and the tow bill will be very very sucky and yes you may die but that’s unlikely unless you’re being very silly behind the wheel (in which case maybe you had it coming?)
