|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Significant large blowdown causing a bushwhack to get around: On the straight southbound cart road stretch between the cellar hole at the right angle turn and the RI state line the trail goes around a permanently flooded part of the road. The beginning of the official go-around trail here has a very large blowdown that can't be climbed over or under. You have to bushwhack around it and it doesn't look like many people have done this yet and made a herdpath, as the blowdown is from the recent October snowstorm. A large saw is needed to clear this one. Or else an official re-route of the trail. |
