 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The one on the AT was a submerged rock-hope after yesterday's rain. The ones on the bemis valley were a bit tricky too, but no major issue. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The AT is in great shape; crews were out working today.
The Bemis valley trail has some blowdowns and tight corridor. Logging has turned a big chunk of the lower section of trail into a skid road. There is a cairn right after a blowdown (when descending) where the trail leaves the road. |

 | Comments: |
This is a really cool ridge with a lot of up and down. The rock was slippery today, so the bemis valley trail was a perfect escape. |
