Volunteer Vacations in the Wilderness with the American Hiking Society
Summer is almost here and hiking is at its best, but how about "giving back" or "paying forward" with some volunteer work for our trails? The American Hiking Society offers 70+ volunteer vacation opportunities across the country. To give you a flavor of what a volunteer vacation is like, check out this video I made for AHS...
Want to see more in depth what a week of trail work is like? Check out these videos of projects I've participated in over the last few years...
In 2011, we built a bridge and also built several long sections of boardwalk with volunteers of the North Country Trail Association in Michigan...
We built a 31' bridge up at 9000 feet in Utah's Wasatch Mountains in 2010...
In 2011, we rebuilt a boardwalk in South Carolina's Francis Marion National Forest...
In 2010 we worked on extending the Buffalo River Trail in Arkansas...
And here's a listing of all my volunteer trail projects.

The New Tradition Chorus Spring Concert
"Broadway Times 4" was the title of this concert by the The New Tradition Chorus, the Northbrook (Illinois) Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (formerly known as SPEBSQA.) Songs were presented from four Broadway hits -- "Guys and Dolls," "West Side Story," "Les Miserables," and "George M. Cohen."
A friend from church choir is in the group and a former choir director of our church choir is the director now. I've enjoyed listening to several of the groups CDs for a few years, and although I've wanted to attend concerts, I have either been out of town or involved in other concerts on previous show weekends, but this time I was able to go and I loved the show!
