It might be raining now, but it won’t be later…
Check out all the awesome opportunities we’re offering to get outside this week:
WEDNESDAY
Cabin and Trail: Dinertoure
When: Leave from behind Robo at 6:30AM, back before 9Ls.
What: I'm willing to bet that all of you, upon telling someone you're going to Dartmouth, have been told, "You're going to go far in life!" This week's Dinertoure is for those who are really willing to go the extra mile. As Eaton's Sugarhouse's founder, Lao-tzu Eaton, once said, "a journey of a thousand deliciousnesses begins with a single 45 minute bus ride." Located in South Royalton VT, right next to the Pillars of Hercules, Eaton's Sugarhouse is truly a gem. In terms of breakfast perfection, there is nothing beyond their raspberry chocolate chip pancakes.
Cost: The ride is free, bring small bills.
Blitz: dinerbro, dinersaur, or dinermatrix with the subject line Dinertoure to RSVP
Dartmouth Organic Farm: Workday
When: 3:00PM-5:30PM with a ride leaving behind Robo
