Coalmont Road Closed
Posted on October 28, 2009
Filed Under Local Issues, News |
The Red Bluffs is probably the most exciting part of the Coalmont Road, and has given more than one tourist pause for concern. Coalmontians are used to dodging rocks, and know that one of these days the whole road will continue on down. Still, when direct access to Princeton gets cut off, everyone pays attention. Although bigger than usual, this slide on Wednesday October 21 was already cleared by 2:30 pm. Kudos to the road crew who manages to keep our road drivable all year round. (Bob Sterne photo)

Preserving Our Community
The New Coalmont Courier will strive to be a unifying thread for the community. It is not feasable at this time to have a town council or similar organ, therefore I hope that the NCC can fulfill an intermediate role in bringing the community together and fostering a higher level of awareness and communication on topics which effect everyone here. - Ole Juul -

Go to Canada . . . Then Turn Left
Looking for Coalmont? The Ghetty Thesaurus of Geographical Names lists 15 places in the world named Coalmont. Actually, I found a 16th. There is also a borough in the Huntingdon metro area in Pennsylvania. That's a lot of Coalmonts! But don't worry, it's not that bad. Nine of the Coalmonts are mines in the USA and one is a valley which is also below the border. For some strange reason, there are no Coalmonts outside of North America. When counting inhabited areas, it really just comes down to Coalmont Colorado, Coalmont Indiana, Coalmont Tennessee, and Coalmont Alabama. That leaves just one, and that's us. In Canada, there is only one Coalmont ... you can't miss it! -
