Pork Roll will be there, to give us advice on our events, so it is an extrememly valuable experience. Blitz: ftd with questions SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY Hike Mt. Ascutney!

Moosilauke: Trailwork When: Sunday 8am-evening Cost: FREE, 'cause it's trailwork! Blitz: Chris Roades to sign up Description: Apparently one of the trails has a "mucky yucky stucky" hole, which is in dire need of some TLC.
