miles to Mrs. Andrew Hallock's on the Lincoln-Huntington Road. At a point 2 1/2 miles from the Lodge, the Trail comes out near a burned house on the so-called Dwyer Road, whence it goes north about 1/2 mile to an abandoned house, thence west across meadows to the Lincoln-Huntington Road, north on which at about 1/2 mile is Mrs. Hallock's. Room and board. Address Box No. 28, R. F. D., Starksboro, Vt. Phone 62-4, Bristol. An auto is furnished to meet parties at Bristol, 8 miles, or at Hanksville, 3 miles.

From Glen Ellen Lodge to Birch Glen Camp the water is uncertain. The spring at Beaver Meadows may be dug out if seemingly dry. There are some notable views north from Champlain Panorama and Dean Panorama. Dean's Cave is a curiosity. Stark Wall is very steep. An abandoned highway, badly overgrown, crosses through Appalachian Pass, easterly 5 miles to Waitsfield, and westerly 4 miles to Hanksville. The Stark Mountains, lying east of Starksboro, are heavily wooded but with good vistas from clearings. The cliff on the north slope of Molly Stark Mountain is a curious formation. From here there is a fine view to the north.

Birch Glen Camp, built in 1930, is surrounded by a beautiful yellow birch forest. It is a semi-open camp with double-deck bunks for 12, good stove and simple cooking utensils; fine water. Glen Ellen Lodge to Birch Glen Camp, 5 1/2 miles; time, 6 hours (southbound, the same).

The Frank Beane Farm is 1 mile to the west through woods and meadows. Parker Beane, who lives there, has no phone and does not entertain hikers, but has auto and truck for hire. From this farm an approach trail leads to Hanksville, 1 1/2 miles from the Frank Beane Farm. Hanksville has no postoffice, but hikers can have mail sent in care of Mrs. Frank Beane at Hanksville, Vt. (R. F. D., Starksboro, Vt.). Mrs. Beane sup-

plies room and board to hikers. Hanksville is 3 1/2 miles from Huntington Center whence a stage goes twice daily, 9 miles, to Richmond on Central Vermont Railroad, and Montpelier-Burlington bus line.
