Nov. 4, we're heading to the polls to choose a new leader for our country.

The closest they have come is the clear difference the two have when it comes to gun control.

Fortunately, there is another party -- the Outdoor Party -- organized in the mind of someone tired of the same old tired party politics -- me.

Pull on your hip boots and wade into my final column about the Outdoor Party's run for the highest office in the land.

I'm Writing Another Blog

I launched another blog today.

OutdoorsVT, will be an off-shoot of my weekly column in the Rutland Herald.

Topics will focus largely on Vermont but will expand to include anything of interest to Vermont readers, which includes just about anything related to the outdoors in northern New England.

Check it out and tell me what you think.

The Rutland area in Vermont has an outdoor champion in Michael Smith. The dedicated mountain biker and outdoor enthusiast is active in a variety of outdoor recreation planning and volunteer work. His latest undertaking is an incredible bridge in a trail system called Pine Hill Park, for which Smith has designed and built most of the trails as well.

Read about the bridge and Smith's efforts in my column.
