Trail Masters Report: It has been a great year as far as trail work. We worked on most of our trails and added some, starting with the Knotty Moose, Coley , MCI, Great Lakes, Cochan, Black Mtn. Beaver Brook,, Horseshoe Brook, Gary's, Turk Mtn, Bunker Pond, East Branch, the new Chisolm Trails and best of all, our newest connector trail, Roxbury to Rumford trail system. This allows for a big loop, Roxbury to Rumford to Peru to Dixfield to Mexico, and back to Roxbury. We will be opening it up early next year. It still has to have time setting up, putting in bridges, water bars, and tender loving care. I would like to thank Roger, Sheri, and Jane for taking on the Club and saving it from folding. ( Making Roxbury Great Again). Thank you all for your support of me while I was Trailmaster  Mike
