Devils Cliff Pictures

From SAFE member Tom Kiska

This past Sunday hiked up to Tim Park’s new warming hut on the top of Devils Cliff on his property in Hubbardton, off trail 4.

We had the first hot dog roast at the hut! The view from the top is great, you can see Lake Bomoseen, Grandpa’s Knob, Whiteface Mt and lots more. Now all we need is cold and Snow!

Many thanks to Tim for his hard work on the trails and his warming hut addition!
We hope to see you on the top of Devils Cliff.

Safety Course

19 students from age 12 to AARP eligible attended the Snowmobile Safety Course on November 8, 2009.   Instructors Mary Lee Harris (SAFE) and Tom Coloutti (Poultney) covered basic snowmobile operation, signs, and safe operation principles.   Members of the Castleton First Responders discussed basic First Aid, use of the items in the Survival / First Aid Kit, and demonstrated the rescue sled.

Thanks to the American Legion Post 50 for donating the meeting room, #3907 Eagles Club of Fair Haven for funding the Survival Packs and refreshments, and Pruniers' Market for providing the snacks and pizza lunch.

Fall Barbecue

SAFE member Tom Kiska recently submitted these photos of SAFE's Fall Barbecue back on October 10. 2009.    The appetizers, burgers, dogs, beef, and desserts all were excellent and the bonfire sure felt good as it was starting to feel like snowmobile weather.   Thanks to Shawn and Phil DuBois for hosting the party.
