|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Success Road was fine, but plenty of potholes, as well as a few washed out culverts (single lane to get around). |

Dry Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Rock hoppable. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
I recollect a few blowdowns on each of the tree trails. I cut out one blowdown on the Mahoosuc that was blocking the trail and causing a herd path. Noted the Goose Eye Trail waterbars had been recently cleared. Some failed bog bridges on Mahoosuc. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I do not recommend the Mahoosuc Trail south of Goose Eye, as there are two iron rung ladders to contend with. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Other than a deer fly at the bottom in the afternoon, none, probably due to the brisk weather. |

 | Lost and Found: |

 | Comments: |
Loop was fairly dry, other than the usual mudbogs on the Mahoosuc Trail and a few wet ledges in the shade.
Carlo Col Trail had better footing than I remember from many years ago.
Nice early fall-like weather with temperatures in the 50s to 60s down low and a good breeze up high. Wish I had gloves for above treeline; it was chilly. Not much in way of crowds (other than a large group at the shelter). Great way to avoid the sound of motorcycles this weekend. |
