A few stepover blowdowns, some old, some from Irene. One Irene-caused oak blowdown would have turned into a walkaround herd path so I took out my trusty Sven Saw and removed it. |

Tons of dogs on top of Watatic. All having a good time. |

8th and final section of CJ's and my south-to-north Midstate trail journey. Presented him with Midstate patch at terminus. Lots of nicely colored mushrooms, lots of red efts. What's next? Maybe Wapack, maybe North-South Trail in RI. Maybe M-M? |
