After a light winter, the trail system is poised for the increased activity that nicer weather always brings. As we think of the history of our trails, especially the Howard Watson Trail, we ‘re reminded of the recent loss of 2 “trailblazers”, John Timar and Fern Noel. John was a long-time member of the Bluewater Trails Committee and active outdoor living advocate, and Fern was literally on the front-lines of the establishment of the HWNT. It wasn’t easy as you can read here. Thank you John and Fern for the legacy you leave behind for us to enjoy.
