|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Plenty of parking at the Reel Brook TH - no other cars there all day! On the other hand, the drive in on Reel Brook Road is pretty challenging - a few ruts and washouts - the worst part is the short spur to the parking lot - really big rocks. Make sure your car has clearance before or it *will* have clearance after!!! |

Wet Trail, Mud - Significant, Standing/Running Water on Trail |
|

|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
all water crossings were easy |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Nice axe-work all along the Kinsman Ridge Trail - beautiful work!!!! Unfortunately, there are huge drainage issues, especially within a mile of Mt Wolf - mud so deep and light brown-colored... what is growing in THAT? |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
no dogs seen today but would be fine if they love mud baths!!!! Plenty of water! |

not enough for bug dope |

Nice day for this AT segment. Beautiful new (2010) Eliza Brook Shelter - wow!!! Great views from S Kinsman, as usual. Saw a few people on the ridge - some pretty tired! Great day! I had forgotten how nice the Reel Brook Trail is! |
