|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Many of them were raging after the recent rain. Cross with care. Thanks to my GoreTex boots, my feet stayed dry. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Near the pond, the trail really could use some irrigation- at many points, the trail is straight-up flooded. Similar scenario near the upper Mt. Coe trail junction, but that part needs some waterbars badly, since the trail there is a brook. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
No dogs or pets in the park. Period. |
|
 | Bugs: |
A couple flying about, but zip due to the cold, wind, and rain. |

 | Comments: |
Attempted North Brother for #66 on the NE67, but turned back at the upper Mt. Coe junction. The weather and trail conditions were really sucky, and I didn't want to remember #66 for that.
