Thru-hiking Vermont’s Long Trail

At the annual meeting of the Northwoods Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance, join guest speaker, teacher/ naturalist of Trees For Tomorrow, Joe Panci of Eagle River, as he tells the tales of his 2007 thru-hike of Vermont’s Long Trail, a 300 mile journey along America’s oldest long-distance trail. This trail runs the length of Vermont (From Massachusetts to the Canadian border) along the backbone of the Green Mountains, sharing its first 100 miles with the Appalachian Trail. Learn what it takes physically, mentally and logistically to do a thru-hike.
The presentation will follow a fairly brief Chapter business meeting. Volunteers will share their efforts and adventures on their segments of the trail during the past year.
The public is invited. Come see what the Ice Age Trail is all about.
The meeting will be on Tuesday, April 9, at 6:30 p.m. in the Lincoln County Services Building, 801 N. Sales St., Merrill.
