Epiphany hike and King cake

Spruce Mountain is a 4.3 out-and-back trail with a 1,200 foot gain. The hike narrative can be found here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/vermont/spruce-mountain.

Dress appropirately, bring micro-spikes, warm clothing (fat, gloves, scarf etc), water as needed (this is not a long hike) and Fido.

After the hike (we should be done by 12:30), we'll head out to Barre for lunch and a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_cake">King cake</a>.

We meet at 9:50 for a 10:00 sharp departure.

Bad weather cancels the hike and we'll meet for lunch directly instead.

For lunch, I'm planning on meeting at Mulligan's Irish Pub in Barre
