This year Billy is head of Appleridge Townhomes which has taken a lot of effort this year, Ann is on the board of the Bike Hub and does their monthly newsletter, Billy is the Outreach Coordinator for the Green Mountain Club, Ann works on the website and newsletter for the GMC. We both unload trucks for the food kitchen, pick up weekly donations from Walmart, and Ann works once a week at distribution. We built inserts for Window Dressers and helped at the Empty Bowls event. In addition there are all of our outdoor pursuits, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, lots of trail maintenance, as well as visiting and being with friends & family.

September we finished our west coast trip and did the second half of the Erie Canal Bike Trip (Erie Canal Bike Trip Part 2). We did a road trip to Indiana to see Liz, Andy, Kate, Zeke and Gabriele. We saw our first "Bin Store" where unsold items have one last chance at life as they are piled into huge bins which people sort through - they are all one price - more expensive the first day, decreasing prices over the week until the bins are changed again and unfortunately the remainder goes to the land fill. We had lots of good food and good visiting. Bob came up to visit and we took him to the Mt Anthony lookout and along Bolles' Brook. Ann went to CT to visit family, look at old photo albums and took Flint on the "2 Gramma Bike Ride".
October Lorne Currier from the Green Mountain Club HQ came down and gave a workshop on trail maintenance, then put our knowledge to work on the Long Trail. We hiked to Bromley Mt and had Nancy's super delicious bread, harvested chilis, then did the Little River/Stowe trip. ​(Little River) Fall color is always beautiful!
November we led a hike around, up and over Mt Anthony, hiked up to the West Ridge, went to LI to see Ann's buddies Liz and Judy,  hiked the Hopper trail on Greylock, gave a presentation with Barb & Robin at the GMC Potluck, then buzzed down to LI for some huge winds and Roger's retirement party - best retirement party ever! The first ski on Prospect.
