Hiking

The Long Trail traverses the summit of Mount Grant at 3,623 feet (1,104 m). From the summit, there are views south across the Breadloaf Wilderness towards Bread Loaf Mountain. The Cooley Glen Trail, whose trailhead is in the town of Lincoln, terminates at the Cooley Glen Shelter on the Long Trail after 3.2 miles (5.1 km). From the shelter, Mount Grant is 0.8 miles (1.3 km) to the north while Mount Cleveland is 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to the south.[1]

gollark: Er, yes.
gollark: If you want callback-driven, then I would do something like this:```lua-- table of event listeners for each programlocal listeners = {}-- make this available to each programlocal function addEventListener(event, handler) listeners[event] = handlerend-- run this when the close button is calledlocal function thingy() if listeners.close then listeners.close() actuallyCloseProgram() else actuallyCloseProgram() endend```
gollark: Ah yes, that may be a problem.
gollark: What?
gollark: Alternatively you can just... queue a `close` event for them, or something.
