|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Many blowdowns on Bondcliff trail - but they are all old and mostly easy "step-overs". High winds over the last few days seem to have created a fair amount of debris - mostly at higher elevation. We were able to clear most of it on the way down. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Great day for Cinnilla - and no problems for her anywhere. She even had energy to play with other dogs on the walk-out via Lincoln Woods.
Plenty of water everywhere - except between Zeacliff and the first crossing of Black Brook where there is none (unless you hike down to Guyot campground). |

 | Comments: |
Lend-a-Hand had significant mud and standing water. The other trails all have some muddy sections but they are semi-dry and/or easy to bypass.
Windy between Mt. Bond and Bondcliff but not significantly so.
Georg, Cinnilla and I had a great day on the beautiful hike. We finished well within our time budget and saved the batteries on our headlamps. |
