be an old-timer. Keep camp neat and leave it neat. And the last and greatest law is: SHOW HOSPITALITY. If you are in camp and another party comes in late, help them, and make room for them cheerfully. Probably they hated to see you there; make them glad they found you.

BE CAREFUL THINK OF THE NEXT FELLOWS

Division A CANADA, JAY PEAK, HAZENS NOTCH, LAMOILLE RIVER TO GATES CAMP

It is expected that by June 30, 1930 The Trail will be run north from Jay Peak about eight miles to the International Boundary Post 592 on the Canadian border, thus completing The Long Trail from Massachusetts to Canada. From Jay Peak The Trail will follow the ridge, passing over North Jay Peak to Post 592 with some fine views en route. Post 592 may be reached from North Troy, 5 1/2 miles. Autos can run 3 miles of this distance as far as North Jay school house. From there an old road is taken to Post 591 which is only 1/2 mile east from Post 592. Mileage, however, in the Guide Book is still reckoned from Jay Peak. The northern end of The Long Trail now passes over the summit of Jay Peak ten miles north of Hazens Notch. These last ten miles of trail were built during the season of 1927. The summit of Jay Peak can be reached from the east by way of North Troy and Jay and from the west by way of Montgomery Center. A well-worn trail leads from an abandoned house at the end of the old notch road to the summit three and one-half miles away. The crest of Jay Peak is a bare cone affording splendid views in all directions. Points of particular interest to the north and northeast in Canada are Mount Royal, Owl's Head and Lake Memphremagog. North Jay Peak with an altitude of 3,400 feet rises in the north about two and one-half miles away. 15
