Kick 'n Gliders Nordic Ski Club, 2014 Garnet Hill Trip, Siamese Ponds & Garnet Hill Trails
This video depicts members of the Kick 'n Gliders Nordic Ski Club skiing on the Siamese Ponds Wilderness trails and the Garnet Hill Lodge Ski Trails in New York's Adirondack Park, on March 14 & 15, 2014, respectively.
The extensive ski trail system at Garnet Hill Lodge in North River, NY, is groomed. There is a ski center with rentals and lessons. The trails in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness trails are ungroomed and free. We picked up those trails at the Old Farm trailhead near Thirteenth Lake. The trailhead is very close to Garnet Hill and the trails are illustrated on the ski center's trail map.

It is purpose of the Kick 'n Gliders Nordic Ski Club to promote safe cross-country skiing, provide opportunities for group skiing and encourage the general enjoyment of the outdoors. We recognize that many people have little idea of what cross country skiing actually involves. And, so, this video is presented as representative of the kind of activity that we participate in on a typical trip.
The source materials are photos and video clips taken by trip participants who took part in the activity depicted. The materials are gathered together at the end of a day's skiing, compiled into a video by the author and presented to trip participants that evening. We've come to call these videos The Daily Rush.
We hope you enjoy these quick little videos and that seeing them encourages you to try the sport for yourself!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
William Tecumseh Sherman (February 8, 1820 – February 14, 1891) was an American soldier, businessman, educator, and author. He served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861–65), for which he received recognition for his outstanding command of military strategy as well as criticism for the harshness of the scorched earth policies he implemented in conducting total war against the Confederate States.Sherman began his Civil War career serving in the First Battle of Bull Run and Kentucky in 1861. He served under General Ulysses S. Grant in 1862 and 1863 during the battles of forts Henry and Donelson, the Battle of Shiloh, the campaigns that led to the fall of the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg on the Mississippi River, and the Chattanooga Campaign, which culminated with the routing of the Confederate armies in the state of Tennessee. In 1864, Sherman succeeded Grant as the Union commander in the western theater of the war. He proceeded to lead his troops to the capture of the city of Atlanta, a military success that contributed to the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. Sherman's subsequent march through Georgia and the Carolinas further undermined the Confederacy's ability to continue fighting. He accepted the surrender of all the Confederate armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida in April 1865, after having been present at most major military engagements in the western theater.
When Grant assumed the U.S. presidency in 1869, Sherman succeeded him as Commanding General of the Army, in which capacity he served from 1869 until 1883. As such, he was responsible for the U.S. Army's engagement in the Indian Wars over the next 15 years. Sherman advocated total war against hostile Indians to force them back onto their reservations. He steadfastly refused to be drawn into politics and in 1875 published his Memoirs, one of the best-known first-hand accounts of the Civil War. British military historian B. H. Liddell Hart declared that Sherman was the first modern general.
