The club met tonight and our trail master is meeting with the person making the map tomorrow, it is my understanding it is done, we have a printer lined up, we are going to post it on our web page in PDF also.

Thanks for the update.

Yes, take Weber Town Forest Trail to N.Shore Rd. at end of Weber Trail go left onto road for about 100 or so feet then take a right ( follow sled tracks ) this trail will put you on Big Island Pond, this trail is not groomed, our club grooms to N. Shore Rd.

I know about the lot on 28. Do we need to have a Pathfinders decal displayed to part there? I have one, just need to find it.

Is it ok to park at the convenience store in Sandown on 121A?

Are there are any other places to park that are convenient to Atkinson?

Thanks
Dom

Anyone can park in lot on rt.28 Derry, I am not sure how Sandown works on parking, but that intersection of 121a and the trail always has trucks and trailers there, There has been some people parking on Geoff Lane in Hampstead and that seem to be acceptable, I saw your brother in-law there a few times.

I know it is a little further, but don't forget about Fremont Depot, that is also a popular place to park

so, I was very close but the tracks were gone from the new snow... I found the trail after taking a left then the right at the end of Weber trail but that took me into another road, Sanborn Rd, and there were a bunch of houses around so I turned back
hope you can view the attachment from my GPS

You were on the right track, you will come out by a house on your right, stay to left follow side of road, when you come to mailboxes (fork) take Colletes Rd.
stay on side of rd. drive straight to the beach, you will see a sign that says North Shore Yaught Club you are there, your GPS was right on try entering North Shore Yaught Club, also you could PM me if I am out I could show you the way.

Aha! so I guess the only time you can get to the lake is after a snow? sounds like a rough ride on the asphalt and the roads are very narrow... nobody complains about the sleds going thru there?

No Complaints, most everyone over there owns sleds, once you know the way in you will find ways around the asphalt.
