On October 1st, the 10th season of Windows to the Wild begins. It’s been an adventure-filled decade for viewers and Will Lange! He’s hiked, paddled, skied and even soared all over New England and beyond, and introduced us to people (and animals) who love the outdoors. We want to celebrate this exciting anniversary with you and all Windows to the Wild fans. When Will attended our Passport Craft Beer & Food Pairing Tour (a sold-out success!), we witnessed yet again how popular the show and Will are. He even ran into a bride and her mother who asked to have their photo taken with him! What are your favorite shows? We’d like to hear from you about them and if you’ve retraced any of our hikes. Meanwhile, Will’s got a list of his favorites and most memorable times, along with behind-the-scenes stories, to share with you. And, get ready for a double celebration in the spring when we’ll not only toast 10 Wild Years, but 80 Wild Years...when Will has his 80th birthday!
