In mid-July, the Green Mountain Club will be hosting the 2009 ATC Biennial Conference in Rutland, Vermont at Castleton State College.
Several TEHCC members are planning to make the trek to Vermont in a 15 passenger van.
So far, 5 have confirmed with room for 3 more.
The current plan is to leave Kingsport early Friday, July 17th and return on either Friday, the 24th or Saturday, the 25th.
The conference activities are on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
The TEHCC group will depart Rutland on Monday for the hiking extravaganza.
There will be two hiking groups - one for easy going good times and one for covering mileage (of course this is Jake).
Hiking will last until either Thursday or Friday.
Depending on the group's preferences, tourist stops can and probably will be made on the way home (breweries and other locations of note).
Cost of this trip will be minimal (includes splitting gas, food, conference registration and campus dorms for first 3 nights).
For more information, go to vermont2009.org.
Registration opens on March 1st so don't doddle.
If you can no longer contain your excitement about going, contact Jake Mitchell, 423-963-8654.
