"The rural and wild landscape of southern Vermont offers a true bounty of great trail-running opportunities, from out-and-back (or point-to-point) runs on popular long-distance routes, such as segments of the Long Trail or the Appalachian Trail, to little-known loops hidden away in the woods. This helpful guide is just the resource needed for trip planning or for a spontaneous run in a beautiful place. Local expert trail runner Ben Kimball offers a range of suggested route options, sometimes even several at the same site, for runners of all skill levels. He also provides important practical information, such as the full distance of the suggested route; a difficulty rating; the trail style and type; the total ascent; and directions, along with a detailed description of the trail itself. The trails included vary in difficulty and terrain type, and range from low elevations in the Connecticut River Valley to as high as 4,000 feet at Killington Peak. This indispensable book is the perfect companion for adventurous runners and hikers interested in exploring southern Vermont"--

Evidence reveals that Britain was not only the epicenter of an ancient global religion but became the first light of Christianity after the crucifixion.Was the royal lineage of King David preserved in the ancient British Isles?Did the ancient Druids hold beliefs in common with Judeo-Christianity?Was Joseph of Arimathea more than a wealthy disciple of Jesus?Did a young Jesus walk the shores of Britain, and if so, why? What was he doing in that remote corner of the world?If the answer to any of these questions is yes, why have these accounts not been more widely shared?These hidden stories out of Celtic Britain abound in heroism, sacrifice, and faith. The rise and ultimate fall of these noble people is a story for the ages. A battle for transparency continues today as this book reveals ancient manuscripts and other evidence that shed needed light on Britain and on the life of Jesus prior to His final ministry in Palestine.
