 from AMC https://cdn.outdoors.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/16093641/difficultyratings_upload-scaled.jpg This shows a jpg file of an enormous chart that is too small print to easily read. You can click on the + sign to make it big enough. This is an incredibly detailed system. I found it by clicking on an activity and then finding the link under difficulty in the trip description. I had used a simpler system when I lead trips for the Delaware Valley chapter of the AMC about 5 years ago. I couldn't find that on their website. I think all their activities now go through outdoors.org which is the website for their “mothership”.

 From Sivia: Dear A.T. Community members and partners, You are invited to a Bennington Appalachian Trail (A.T.) Community Public Meeting on May 23d, at 6 pm. Where: Bennington Fire House multi purpose room on the third floor. The facility is located at 130 River Street in Bennington and is handicap accessible. Meeting Goals: Provide an update on activities, share plans for this summer, and to solicit input on future efforts. We will begin with a presentation about what it means to be an A.T. Community and what activities and events the town has been doing so far. There will also be discussion about last year’s Trailfest event, its impact, and learn about planning and ideas for this year’s Trailfest. We will also hear from our organizational partner, the Bennington Chapter of the Green Mountain Club, about their plans for this year and how we can all engage with them to be more involved. If you are interested in the outdoors, hiking, stewardship of the trail, and improving Bennington as a destination for outdoor recreation, we encourage you to join in the discussion to learn more about our local Green Mountain Club chapter and how the community can support our A.T. designation. Most importantly is that we want to hear from the community. How can we maximize the benefit to our community by having this designation? What ways can we do more to support hikers visiting our town? What ideas do you have to make us more hiker friendly? What ways can we be leveraging our status as an A.T. community to focus attention on the outdoor recreational resources we have available? We encourage you to come out and share your thoughts and ideas. Please let me know if you have any questions, have thoughts, or need accomodations. Silvia Cassano

Answering the question to WHO are 'US'
The following picts show a progressive increase in our view of 'US': beginning with GMC mothership, -> GMC Sections, -> Bennington Section, -> Bennington outdoor organizations, -> community organizations, -> southern Vermont/Northern Massachusetts/Eastern New York areas. Some of these graphics will be used at a meeting Tuesday, May 23, as part of an Appalachian Trailfest meeting. 3rd floor of fire station, 6 pm. All are welcome! Our 'US' is as big as we choose to devote our energy. |
