Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: boundry trail is wet but most of it avoidable,caps ridge had 5 step overs that require hand saw and 4 duck unders. It was disgusting to see that the snowmobilers used the Caps ridge trail entrance as there personal bathroom. The first ten feet is littered with tp and someone tried to have a fire in the middle of the trail. Jewel was in great shape. One minor blow down.

Comments
Comments: It was an awesome day to be above tree line!! Caps ridge is pretty much bare of snow. Just was disgusted by what the snowmobilers did to the trail entrance of Caps Ridge. Also lots of beer bottles in the parking lot. The ridge walk was free of snow and so wasn't Mt.Washington. Jewel still has some hard monorail once you hit the trees for a bit but disappears quickly. Rest of trail in great shape.Nice job trail workers:))Thank you. Great day with Danny who picked up #s 18 & 19 today:))
