Brickey: It would be tough to come up with an estimate, but I think it's safe to say 40+. As far as "events", everyone pretty much does their own thing. On the
other thread a few local options are available. If Alpine or XC skiing are her thing, Wildcat and Great Glens are right down the road. There are great, easy snowshoes pretty much anywhere from Barnes Field. It's winter - we do winter things
I'm guessing that there will be more than a few who opt for Hiker's Paradise/Colonial Comfort Inn for overnights. It's no more than a 15 minute drive, and the motel rooms are very reasonable and clean. Good way to get your/her feet wet, and be quite comfortable.
Blue: I hear you, but that takes more organization trhan I can take on right now. I'm not a project manager - I just play one on VFTT
. If anyone wants to step forward and work on that task, I'll keep answering the eMails and PM's, updating the posts, making sure we have firewood, convincing Sean we don't need a million burgers, thanking everyone for all of their help, etc. Fun Fun!
In all fairness, I've gotten TREMENDOUS support in all of this. Thanks to everyone who has stepped forward (and those of you who will)!
