All trips will be by automobile or van, with pooling encouraged. Each NEIGC participant is responsible for bringing lunch each day and, especially for the trips on Mt. Washington, suitable gear for extreme weather conditions including high winds and freezing temperatures. Field trip leaders will make the judgement on adequacy of equipment for these excursions. Read the field trip descriptions very carefully!! Specific questions about the trips should be directed to the trip leaders.
