May 24/27 and June 1/2 2013 – Chatham Trails Work Week

Weekend 1: We constructed about 100 yards of new trail to move the trail to higher ground and out of a perennially wet area. The USFS reviewed my proposal and after the field visit approved the plan. We had 8 volunteers: 6 Saturday and 4 Sunday working on the project. – Mike

Weekend 2: CHATHAM Trails – Deer Hill bypass. About 600 or 700 feet with a lot of mucky spots and a stream crossing. Two rock steps for that, and about 20 rocks in the treadway hardening area (see first photo). This was on the second weekend, June 1& 2 at Cold River Camp. – Ray J.

May 18th, 2013 – Mt. Kearsarge South Trail

Nine hearty Trailwrights met to do some needed rock work on the Rollins Trail in Rollins State Park. This short trail is heavily traveled and a favorite with families with small children.

We tackled two areas of concern as both needed rock steps and some smoothing of the treadway. We quarried rocks from the adjacent area to install 6 single rock steps and 3 double rock steps in both locations for a total of 18 steps. Additionally, all water bars and ditches were cleaned. Not a bad day at all. Lots of fun as usual. Great views for lunch and hardly any bugs! Pictures posted here. – Hal
