Adventure of the Week: Green Mountain Adventure Challenge
I’m starting a new weekly series of posts suggesting adventures throughout New England (and occasionally beyond). Adventures may range from pleasant strolls to challenging bike rides and hikes. Every adventure I’ll suggest is one I have done myself – often with my wife, other relatives, and/or friends.
First up – the Green Mountain Adventure Challenge in West Dover, Vermont. This is the third year of the challenge and the second year my wife and I participated. We look forward to many more. Last year’s was a lot like the Nicholas Cage movie “National Treasure” – one clue lead to another clue which lead to another clue each requiring hikes or other travel around the West Dover area. This year’s challenge was a little different but still a lot of fun. A portion of the registration fee goes to cancer care and research. And it’s a great way to see some of the lesser known parts of the area and challenge your body and your brain. There’s still time to participate in the 2014 Challenge through Labor Day weekend. Many teams have completed the challenge in roughly two days.
