 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Water was not too high for the crossing of Ladd Brook and Rapid Stream. On the way up I took my shoes off; on the way back my feet were already muddy and wet so I just plowed on through. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There are a few blowdowns - one was large enough that it took me about five minutes to find the trail again on the way down. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
On the way down I met a guy coming up with a golden retriever. Dog was having fun. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Not too bad. |
