Kristin added:nnGMC Staff are organizing the hikes and brewery visits. The hikes are already on the website and registration and brewery announcements are coming soon\, we just need to confirm a few more things. The event will be publicized on various channels online and also on state and town event calendars/newspapers/etc.nnnThe idea is that we will provide guided group outings\, much like Winter Trails Day\, but they will be spread out across the Long Trail and not be based at one central location. Hikes could have an educational aspect around Leave No Trace\, history\, geology\, etc\, although that is not necessary\, and various difficulty levels\, and participants would have to pre-register online. Gatherings after the hikes would take place at breweries around the state\, with a GMC presence at each. This event is also a replacement for Trail Magic Day\, but section trail magic could still take place on this day at trailheads or on the hikes themselves if you desire to continue with that.nnKristin McLane\,nMembership & Communications Coordinator URL:https://gmcmontpelier.org/event/long-trail-day-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180808 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180808 DTSTAMP:20180808T160000Z CREATED:20180808T160000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180808T160000Z UID:21503-1533729600-1533772799@gmcmontpelier.org SUMMARY: East Montpelier - DESCRIPTION:30 mile round trip.
