Hello Friends of the Road,
Welcome to Autumn. Don’t worry, there is plenty of warm weather still coming for us. I used to dread this time of year because I had to go back to school. But now as an adult, I enjoy the slightly cooler weather, less bugs, and better conditions to be hiking. I hope you’re all enjoying it as well.
After the recent car tour and hike outings, we are now going to have a different kind of event. An encampment at the Mount will be held this coming 10th and 11th. It will mark the 240th anniversary of the construction of the Mount and the military road to Hubbardton. Then after that, there will be a 5 Museums Tour. Info for both events are below.

Happy Trails!
