Hello Friends of the Road,
I hope you are all doing well, physically and mentally during these troubled times. Forgive me for the late reminder for our upcoming outing, but we have been cautious about promoting the event until we had a better confidence about the public guidelines. We aren’t sure about the weather, but living in Vermont, that is a common situation. For those not in the area, it has snowed recently! Many of us are looking forward to the event this weekend and hope to see some of you there. We highly advise attendees to bring rain protection and deer tick protection. Also, pace your liquid intake. There will not likely be a bathroom available as the Battlefield Welcome Center will be closed. You ever have an “ear worm” in your head? I do right now. It is a song originally by Bob Dylan, but made famous by Jimmy Hendrix and in my head, sung by Dave Matthews. The lyrics are about the hour getting late. That is the case for me, so allow me to catch up and share more historical wisdom next time. For extra credit, what is the song that is in my head?
Here is the full write-up for the outing this coming weekend:
May 17: Starting at 1pm at the parking area of the Hubbardton Battlefield’s historic site, we will host a weather permitting event called: “Scouting the Perimeter”. It will be a long and moderately strenuous recreational off-trail hike around the Hubbardton Battlefield and likely include Battle Abbey(now Hubbardton Liberty Church), Frog Hollow Road, East Hubbardton Cemetery, etc. All must wear boots and clothing to protect the legs and arms from deer ticks. Contact: Tom – (802) 388-2967
Stay well, and always remember your history!
