As of late afternoon, all water crossings were rock hoppable, despite the heavy rain. Rocks wet/slippery, of course. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One small blowdown on Hancock Notch Trail, a few very small ones on Hancock Loop. Due to downpour, did not bother to cut them up myself. The two mud bogs around Middle/South Hancock keep on getting worse (have noticed this over the last 6 months) - herd paths joining the bogs. Really need bogwalks badly before it gets any worse. |

 | Comments: |
All trails very wet and muddy (more so than normal) - not much drainage in place for a rainy day. Some great foliage colors in a few places, especially the last major water crossing. |
