S.L.O.T.H. Willoughby State Forest CCC Road - NEK
February 8, 2023 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Attention all SLOTHs - Sauntering Lassies AND Lads On Therapeutic Hikes: A bit of a cardio snowshoe, but a wonderful saunter through the Willoughby State Forest, on the side of a groomed Nordic ski trail. We will meet at the parking lot at 10:00. How far we go will depend on how we are all feeling, but the possibilities are many. A "for sure" goal is to reach the lookout that is pictured above. My hope is we do the Middle Loop and end with the Small Loop. Click on the link below to get a visual.
RSVP Susan Winsor s.j.p.winsor@gmail.com if you would like to participate.

The 'American Alps' in the North Cascades (online)
The 'American Alps' in the North Cascades (online)
February 16, 2023 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Adam and Ruthie LaRoche of Franklin, Vermont, spent ten days in August hiking and backpacking in Washington State’s northernmost wilderness, the North Cascades. Hiking to Lewis Lake from the High Pass below Mount Larrabee, they experienced a dreamscape overnight at Yellow Aster Butte, calving glaciers at ice-rimmed Lake Ann, and the stunning beauty of Mount Baker’s Ptarmigan Ridge. Join Adam and Ruthie as they answer questions about backpacking permits, fire cab overnights (yes, if you’re lucky, you can sleep on a summit), and how to navigate those hair-raising forest service roads. This is a Taylor Series Zoom event hosted by the Northeast Kingdom Section.
