Q: I am going back East next summer. Where is
there good hiking?
A: I am mostly familiar with Maine and New
Hampshire. The White Mountains in New Hampshire have thousands of miles of
trails. The Appalachian Mountain Club published an excellent book that gives
detailed descriptions of many of the trails.
Some popular hikes can be found in the Presidential Range. With advanced
planning you can reserve a bunk in several high mountain huts and climb across
the range in several days.
Q: I want to go biking in Europe. How does one
go about doing this?
A: Unless you love research and are very
self-sufficient, you might do best signing on with one of the many bike
companies that offer trips in Europe. I like Vermont Bike Tours. The flight is tied into the whole package, and
the end price is very reasonable. You can expect local guides, excellent
accommodations, good equipment, wonderful food, and rural bike routes. You can
expect to ride with a group of 15 or 20 other people, who usually are middle
aged professional people from the United States. Get the VBTcatalogue and check
their trips out.
