About the accommodations mentioned in the journal:  As of 2022, Rudy’s Cabins and Campground on Clarksville Pond still welcomes Cohos Trail hikers, although the charming camp I occupied has since been renovated and is now priced accordingly. Camping is available at Lake Francis, Deer Mountain, and Coleman State Parks. Robie’s Cabins are under new ownership.
