Colors Colors Everywhere!

Oct 5 - East Rd to West Ridge trail - Martha, Tim, Jennifer, River, Ardy, Barb, Celia, Lin
​We followed a trail off of East Rd up to the West Ridge trail where Hubey has spent the previous day and night doing trail work.
Oct 8 - Hopkins Forest Trail with Judy, Lin
Judy is visiting from Tucson and we want to show off our beautiful Vermont in the Fall.
Oct 9 - Ross Brook Trail to Tannery Falls and Tannery Trail with Judy, Lin
This has got to be one of my favorite hikes yet!! The Fall colors surrounded us and the forest floor was carpeted with bright yellows, oranges, and reds. The trail ran next to a babbling brook and led to a waterfall. This had to be the best lunch spot around!!
Oct 12 - Golden Triangle on Greylock with GMC led by Marjorie and Hal
​A wonderful hike on Mt Greylock including a big porcupine in a tree! After the hike we headed up the mountain in the car so Judy and Lin could see the monument and the top of Greylock and ran into a traffic jam of tourists - so different from our quiet walk in the woods!!
Oct 13 - Judy, Local Color and Bennington Pottery
Oct 13 - Woodford Hollow to Bear Wallow 
Ton Longtin has made a sign for Bear Wallow Spring, Billy has mounted it on a post so we carry tools and the sign up the mountain to install it.
Oct 15 - Woodford Hollow to Bald Mountain
Billy has refurbished the old Bear Wallow Springs sign that was there, so we took it up and placed it by the Springs.
Oct 16 - Apple Picking!
Oct 19 - Phelps to Taconic to Berlin Mt to Mills Hollow - led for GMC
Some people take the short route while others take the long one. Great colors and friends.
Oct 23-26 Trip to CT to see family and a quick run across the Sound to see the crew on Long Island.
Oct 30 - Mt Equinox
Oh, our tired legs! This one is steep with no switch backs. It was an amazing day with beautiful yellows at the bottom of the mountain, then up through the mists and clouds (like being in the Pacific Northwest rainforest) and then up to the summit where we were above the clouds!!!
Home Stuff
The pool table pockets are done being refurbished, the pool table is together! The basement is looking good with a jig saw puzzle area, a plant growing area, exercise area plus all the usual basement stuff. Time for a pool party!!
Oct 25 - The Newest Martin arrives!! Abigail Grace Martin, Wang Shi Yu (Poem of the Universe) 7 pounds 7 ounces. Congratulations Jon and Rui!!
