Camp Kirk (hut) Update

[percypeaks]

I can report that the owner of Camp Kirk has reviewed a formal proposal for the refurbishing and eventual use of Camp Kirk in the Nash Stream Forest and has approved of the text.

"Start the presses," he stated in an email.

Now that proposal will go to the DRED office in Lancaster for review by employees of several state agencies there. Hopefully, the agencies will find the proposal workable and we will eventually receive a formal nod to proceed with the development of the historic building as a tool cache and maintenance depot and as a hut facility for outdoor recreation activity.

The draft of the proposal was also sent a few weeks ago to the board of directors and officers of the Cohos Trail Association. So far, no problems with it have surfaced.

Camp Kirk will be free to the public, should we get the approval to utilize it as a hut. We will accept donations and sponsorships. In fact, there are already some stirrings regarding funding.

If you would like to sponsor or know someone or some company that would like to sponsor the modest refurbishing costs and upkeep, please let us know by posting to this site or emailing the association at [e-mail].

Excellent news! Yeah! I'll continue w/the architectural plans, material list, labor, and etc. We have a lot of possibilities to explore. This also will be great to think about & discuss during the snows of this winter with dimensions and the plans in front of us.

Getting so much better all the time. This is excitement!!
