Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Both the Cherry Mountain Trail and Martha’s Mile have been cleared of all blowdowns that resulted from the Halloween Storm. So, as of 21-Nov-2017, both trails are in great shape. Lost a few blazed trees as a result of the storm. So, in a few spots I got permission from the Forest Service to place some temporary flagging which will be removed in the Springtime when it will be practical to do some re-blazing.

Comments
Comments: Ice has started to form at the steep final approach to Owl’s Head. Would be advisable to bring Microspikes for use on at least this segment of trail.
