Kettle Pond Snowshoe - NEK
Kettle Pond Snowshoe - NEK
February 2, 2025 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Victor Caamano has volunteered to lead a hike in his backyard. This sweet 3 mile+ loop circles a beautiful glacial pond passing by numerous primitive camping areas and lean-tos. We are hoping that there is plenty of snow to cover the possibility of ice, but both snowshoes and micro spikes are recommended. A moderate hike with numerous boulders and a deep forest canopy makes this truly a wonderful adventure.
Please register your participation with Victor at victorcaamano@me.com
Carpooling will be highly recommended (to save gas). Possible meeting spots could be in East Burke, Lyndonville and/or the St. Johnsbury Park and Ride. Let me know if you would like to carpool either by messaging me or at s.j.p.winsor@gmail.com.
We will meet at the Kettle Pond parking lot at 10:00 and head out soon after.

Jean Haigh Cabin Wood Project
February 4, 2025 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
"Many hands make light work." Gather with others to collaborate and achieve the task of moving firewood to the Jean Haigh Cabin at Wheeler Pond. Paul Trojano will be guiding us in the best way to do this on Tuesday, February 4. We will be moving dry wood from one camp and stacking it at the Jean Haigh Camp.
Micro Spikes are highly recommended due to the incline to the cabin.
Being that there is room for about four vehicles, carpooling is recommended.
Contact Paul at paul.r.trojano@gmail.com to RSVP and/or for questions.

48 by 4: Hiking New Hampshire’s Highest Peaks with a Toddler
February 13, 2025 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Green Mountain Club Inc., 4711 Waterbury-Stowe Rd, Waterbury Center, VT 05677, USA
Four-year-old Lydia Pearson has been hiking since before she could walk, riding along in a carrier with ultrarunner mom Whitney. As soon as she could walk on her own two feet, she started summiting some of New Hampshire's highest peaks. In June 2024, she became the youngest known hiker to complete the NH48, 48 peaks above 4,000 feet. Lydia completed all the summits over 35 hikes in less than a year, with mom carrying her little sister at her side. Lydia's mom Whitney will share stories from their hikes together, how she got her kids to enjoy hiking, and what's next for her trekking family.
