In the map below, the black line represents the approximate route of the proposed pipeline, and the blue line represents an approximation of our walking route, with red points as our daily starting and ending points. Please do not rely on this map alone to meet up with the pilgrimage. Give us a call and we’ll give you up-to-the minute location information.
this sounds like a wonderful idea, i would only be able to make it a day or two. Will you be posting the meeting spots for each morning as you go?

I already did a reply, but was not certain. I would like to join the walk in Plainfield and walk as far as I can that day. Conway to Deerfield is also a possibility. Please let me know where to meet you that Friday.

Will do, Rema! We’ll have the schedule out next week.

For the Merrimack NH portion I wish the black line in your route map was correct, but I’m afraid it’s not. (Unless by chance you’ve heard of a route change? But the maps filed on Friday weren’t changed.) The currently proposed route is north of the route you show, crossing the Souhegan River 4 times, cutting through Horse Hill Nature Preserve, the Gilmore Hill Memorial Forest, etc. Just thought I’d mention it. Thanks for your efforts. I hope to join you for some portion.

This is a message/question from Crystal Giggi from a FB post- I heard a rumor of a route change and coinicidentally, your map shows a route change (at least through Merrimack NH). Are you able to provide more information or clarification on the route?

Hi Maureen and Debra
Thanks for your questions about the route of the pipeline. Please note that we sketched in only the approximate route of the pipeline – this is not the actual pipeline route. I apologize for any confusion.
