NGK Day 2008

What To Do

 

Below is a list of links related to the various activities in which you can take part over the course of the weekend. Several of the links are compilations put together by someone else, and my hope in including these is that all the bases will be covered without too much repetition. Below the list is an interactive Google map with lots of state parks tagged, along with a few other relevant sites I have identified.

Biking :

• Kingdom Trails Association
• http://www.vtliving.com/biking/nek.shtml  -- One 33 mile road ride.
