There are so many awesome trips happening this week in Cabin and Trail!
To sign up for trips, 1) blitz the leader with your DID number and 2) get pumped
for a sweet trip.
WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY
Dinertoure:
Dana's
Quechee, Vermont
Leave from the back of Robo at 6:55 AM.
"When you love something, name it for someone you love" was a favorite
saying of my father's. He named our yacht for my mother, our summer home for
my sister, and our chocolate wood armoire for me. Dana--or as she was
called, "The Queen of Quechee"--was also dearly loved. Besides her
accomplishments as the first female sheriff in the state of Vermont, she was
known for hosting the annual Upper Valley Gala, dying the gorge green every
St. Patty's day, and biscuit Sundays: the highlight of everyone's week.
After she tragically fell into the gorge in March 1972, Dana's son Rodgebert
decided to honor her memory by making biscuit Sunday into a daily activity,
and he eventually turned the old stable into a full-scale breakfast and
lunch service. This Wednesday, become a part of something loved with
Dinertoure. The ride is free, bring small bills.

of the Presidential Range. On the way up, we will take the Crawford Path, along
Gibbs Brook, and we will summit Mt. Pierce. Going down, we will take the Webster
Cliff Trail along the Presidential Ridge (going south). We'll take a break and
play some games at the Mizpah Spring Hut, and from there we'll go on the Crawford
path again and enjoy the Gibbs Brook area with all of its waterfalls and wondrous
water features. Eating at a local diner after the hike is a possibility! Be ready
for rainy weather and good times!

ALL WE NEED IS YOU!
To sign up for the trailwork trip going out this weekend! We're going to a section
of the AT off of Goose Pond Rd., a normally unremarkable section of the trail
except for the fact that it's ALL MUD! That's why we're building bridges. Lots
of bridges. No experience required, except for a desire to have fun and get covered
in mud.
blitz dabear for more info.
Woodsmen's Team Practice!
Saturday 11am - 4 pm
Come learn how to throw an axe and use a cross-cut saw! The woodsmen's team
(a sub-club of CnT) hosts practices throughout the term and attends
intercollegiate timbersports competitions throughout the region. No
experience necessary!
Blitz 'ftd' to get on the team's blitz list.
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY
What: Hike mt. Madison
Where: mt. Madison is a 5300 footer in the presidential range of the white mountains.
It will be about 9-10 miles.
When: Sunday from 8am-9pm. Meet behind Robo at 8 am. I'm thinking we hit up a
sweet diner on the way back (9 is kind of an upper limit for time)
So mt. Madison is a big long mountain. It will be a hard hike (9 miles, 5300
feet), but most definitely rewarding as it is one of the tallest mountains in
New England. You should expect to be hiking all day, and hopefully will bring
both your game face and your eager face (think spongebob). There are two different
tails, one follows waterfalls and the other has some decent outlooks, so we may
take one up and one down. The weather looks somewhat cold and rainy, so definitely
try to be ready for the elements, as much of the hike will be above treeline.
Cost will be $5 for DOC members, $10 for non-DOC members. Then you'll need some
extra money for a diner excursion afterwards (probably $12, but bring extra just
in case) Let's do it!
So yeah, blitz iliketurtles with your DA$H number, to sign up.
