2 Kettle Pond Snowshoe - NEK Kettle Pond Snowshoe - NEK February 2, 2025 10:00 am - 1:00 pm Victor Caamano has volunteered to lead a hike in his backyard. This sweet 3 mile+ loop circles a beautiful glacial pond passing by numerous primitive camping areas and lean-tos. We are hoping that there is plenty of snow to cover the possibility of ice, but both snowshoes and micro spikes are recommended. A moderate hike with numerous boulders and a deep forest canopy makes this truly a wonderful adventure. Please register your participation with Victor at victorcaamano@me.com Carpooling will be highly recommended (to save gas). Possible meeting spots could be in East Burke, Lyndonville and/or the St. Johnsbury Park and Ride. Let me know if you would like to carpool either by messaging me or at s.j.p.winsor@gmail.com. We will meet at the Kettle Pond parking lot at 10:00 and head out soon after. https://www.trailfinder.info/trails/trail/groton-state-forest-kettle-pond See more details •	3	4 Jean Haigh Cabin Wood Project Jean Haigh Cabin Wood Project February 4, 2025 9:00 am - 12:00 pm "Many hands make light work." Gather with others to collaborate and achieve the task of moving firewood to the Jean Haigh Cabin at Wheeler Pond. Paul Trojano will be guiding us in the best way to do this on Tuesday, February 4. We will be moving dry wood from one camp and stacking it at the Jean Haigh Camp. Micro Spikes are highly recommended due to the incline to the cabin. Being that there is room for about four vehicles, carpooling is recommended. Contact Paul at paul.r.trojano@gmail.com to RSVP and/or for questions.

Please be advised:

The trail closure on Monadnock Mountain remains in effect. There's still a "NO TRESPASSING" sign on the gate at the gravel pit, although it is easily overlooked when the gate is open. The continued presence of an old trailhead parking sign at this location only adds to the confusion over its status, but a person working at the gravel pit confirmed to me that this trail is still closed.

As some of you may be aware, there is an alternative route that avoids the gravel pit, but I wouldn't recommend using it at this time. It follows a private right of way that encroaches on a nearby dwelling. While this property isn't posted, its owner has expressed no interest in encouraging public access to their land. Please respect this choice and find another mountain to hike for now. Thank you!
