WEYBRIDGE, Vt. -

      (AP) - A hiking trail to connect Vermont's Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail to a 4,600-mile path to North Dakota could be coming to Addison County.

      The 40-mile route that the North Country National Scenic Trail would take from Crown Point, N.Y., to the Long Trail hasn't been chosen, but it is sure to make use of at least a portion of the 16-mile Trail Around Middlebury.

      The Green Mountain Club and other Vermont organizations are working find a route for the trail that will need to be approved by Congress.

      Closing the 40-mile gap is a priority for the Michigan-based North Country Trail Association, the group responsible for the trail from the western shore of Lake Champlain to North Dakota.
