Ever wanted to go kayaking? Throw an axe? Hike a mountain? Harvest vegetables?
The DOC is offering opportunities to do all of those things (and more!) this week:
WEDNESDAY
Cabin and Trail: Dinertoure
When: 6:30AM-8:30AM (Meet behind Robo.)
What: Breakfast is so important. You'll all have many memorable experiences at Dartmouth; some happy, some sad. But no matter what your Dartmouth experience shapes up to be, nothing will be more formative or lifechanging than Dinertoure. We wil be going to The 4 Aces Diner in west leb, famous for its hash benedict and huge stacks of pancakes. You'll be back before 9Ls, but you'll be changed forever.
Cost: The ride is free, bring small bills.
Blitz: dinerbro, dinersaur, or dinermatrix with the subject line Dinertoure.
Cabin and Trail: Planning Feed
When: 7PM at the Rock (16 Sargent St. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~cabtrail/rock.shtml). Meet behind Robo at 6:45PM to walk over together.
What: We will eat lovely homecooked food. After the eating, we will talk about trips we want to see this term and elect the leaders to the various chair positions. It is an important feed so everyone should come!
Cost: $4
Organic Farm: Info Session
When: 7:30PM, Collis 101
What: Bring your dinner and come see what the farm is all about without ever leaving campus. After you catch a glimpse, we hope you'll join us at the farm soon!
THURSDAY
Organic Farm: Morning Harvest
When: 8:00AM-10:00AM
What: We'll be harvesting veggies for our afternoon farmstand, and we need all the help we can get. Catch a ride behind the Robinson Hall, because spending some time outside before your 10A is the very best way to start your day.
Ledyard Canoe Club: Feed
When: 6:30PM
What: Come to the Ledyard Clubhouse by the river (http://www.dartmouth.edu/~lcc/main/directions/) to hang out and eat dinner. There might be some talk about kayaking or canoeing trips that will be happening.

What: Workday from 1 to 3 led by Krystyna Oszkinis. Rides leave from behind the Robinson Hall, of course. If your week was jam packed, we're hoping you can make it out on the weekend, because there's lots to be done at the farm and we'd love your help!
Cabin and Trail: Lodge Dinner + Moosilauke Sunrise Hike
When: 5pm Saturday (meet behind Robo) - 10:30am Sunday
What: Didn't get enough of the Lodge on trips? Didn't get a chance to sunrise hike up Moosilauke? Want to do either of those things again?
Come on this fun-filled Lodge adventure! We'll head up on Saturday night, eat a delicious (dance free) dinner, sleep in a rustic cabin, and get up early to see the sunrise from the top of Mt. Moosilauke, making it back to the Lodge for a warm breakfast before
heading back to campus. The hike is moderate, and the weather looks beautiful, so sign up!
