    Noroviruses
    Noroviruses are a group of viruses (previously known as Norwalk-like viruses) that can affect the stomach and intestines. These viruses can cause people to have gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and the large intestines.

    Don't know how or where to post the following: Our black, partially greying, Standard Poodle, 26" at the shoulder, has been missing since 4/6/2012. We live in the Trail area west of Killington, Vermont, and behind us is forest including the trail up toward Pittsfield, Vermont. He is unfamiliar with that immediate region--for 7 years he has run daily in the woods about 3 miles south over in Chittenden. He has had all his inoculations as of last week, and does NOT CHASE DEER. He is 7 and has taken off only twice before, but never longer than 4 hours. He is extremely intelligent, so if he has not been taken in by someone (we have word out in 5 towns and every conceivable authority) and is still alive, he is far away from home. Please call 802 483-0016 or 345-3874 if you can help.

    Best route up and down Katahdin.

    I know I want to take the AT down, but I don't see the point in hiking it up and down. What is the best way to do it?
