BLAZING THE TRAIL When you go tramping in the north country and come across these welcome signs on trees, fences, or posts, you will know just where you are. By following the trail signs and the arrow marks you will arrive at a Dartmouth Outing Club cabin where a crowd is probably gathered and there is the odor of coffee and cooking food in the air. This trail's crew is at work reblazing the trail between Cube and Holt's Ledge cabins.
