[Snodrog5 at aol.com (Snodrog5@aol.com)]

 The MATC www.matc.org  is hosting a National Trails Day event in Bethel on 
June 5th. Info on what National Trails Day is about can be found on the 
American Hiking Society website: http://americanhiking.org/events/ntd/index.html The 
all-day exposition will be held at the Bethel Outdoor Adventure Campground   
www.betheloutdooradventure.com  on Rte 2. The flyer lists vendors like the 
American Hiking Society, Outwardbound, Chewonki, EMS, AMC, Sierra Club, and others 
being there. It's a free event, from 10-5, with an early morning hike in the 
Mahoosucs on Saturday. Throughout the day: Intro to wilderness medicine, Birds 
of Prey, Boat canoe and kayak rides and demos, knot tying, the "10 
essentials", map & compass demos, prize drawings to enter, clubs to join, volunteer ops 
to learn about, and later in the day a barbecue and camping (extra costs) will 
be offered.
 I'll be up there, with a kid or two in tow, and hope to see some listers 
too.
