From Kim Nilsen:
Here’s an updated map of a proposed new trail directly north out of Coleman State Park in Stewartstown to the easternmost inlets to Lake Francis in Pittsburg.
Bushwhacked quite a bit of the route and road walked all the way back in about 13 hours. I’m happy to report I’m still alive. I don’t recommend the bushwhack. Old logging cuts have a way of making passage a bit less than pleasant.
Putting final touches on graphic work for display panels for sign kiosks for the Cohos Trail. Here are four additional examples. The image of the high elevation bog at Deer Mt. and North Percy Peak are courtesy of Ken MacGray. Robert John Koslow donated the image of First Connecticut Lake with Mt. Magalloway looming in the distance. And John Compton took the fine photo of Pond Brook Falls in the Nash Stream Forest. In a day or two, we’ll post another batch.
Put August 6th on the calendar. We will be hosting a work day in the Nash Stream Forest, blazing and signing the Trio Trail — being built right this minute — from Percy Loop Camp on the north flank of North Percy Peak to the Trio Ponds Road and then down the Pond Brook Falls Trail and out to the Nash Stream Road.

GATHER ‘ROUND THE CAMPFIRE. I’LL TELL YOU A STORY
In year 2000, we lost a soul on the Cohos Trail. One of the very first trekkers on the infant Cohos Trail followed a moose trail into the puckerbrush and was discovered a day later while wandering around in the backcountry of the Phillips Brook watershed, way off course.
Now, since then, moose trails aren’t so readily confused f [READ MORE…]
