Trail Grapevine
our new shelter on the Internet Trail
Bulletin Board A new feature called the Bulletin Board has been created as a place to post notices and other blurbs about upcoming events or other developments in ALDHA. A couple of notices from the coordinator have been posted to christen this new page.
Annual Membership Directory The annual Membership Directory is put together in the late fall, after the Gathering, and mailed to each and every member around the first of the year. This year's edition was sent to the printers in mid-February and should be in the mail around the middle of March. They will be shipped via nonprofit bulk rate, so actual time of delivery will vary. Overseas and Canadian addresses will take a little while longer.

Appalachian Trail Monopoly Like to play games?

The possibilities are, of course, endless. Here is just one way to look at it. (Note: this file is a PDF document. You need Acrobat Reader, which is free, to view it.)
