Letter: Ashuwillticook Rail Trail Covered in Dog Feces

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

We have been waiting, with great anticipation, all winter to walk the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail. On a recent beautiful, sunny day we drove all the way from Albany, N.Y., to downtown Adams to pick up the trail on main street. To our great disappointment and disgust, the trail in both directions, was covered in dog feces, both fresh and what obviously had been there all winter. We had to turn back and abandon our plans, it was so repulsive and disgusting.
