	Surface Conditions:	Dry Trail, Snow - Trace/Minimal Depth, Ice - Blue, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular

	Recommended Equipment:	Light Traction

	Water Crossing Notes:	All easily crossed. The pooch got a ride under my arm to save the paws from freezing.

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	I moved a few branches. A few blow downs that were either step overs or walk unders.

	Dog-Related Notes:	Isis did great on the ledges and handled the cold well. She had the shivers at the summits but once she got moving, she was fine.

	Bugs:	Are you kidding? The bugs have gone south for the winter. :)

	Lost and Found:	Only the things I kept dropping and picking up on the return trip... My handkerchief on North Tri and my pole on Pine Bend brook.


	Comments:	Original plan was Franconia Ridge and I am glad that Isis and I chose the Tri's for to day. It was cold however, once under way, things got warm. the trails were great and easily navigable. Isis did well on the tricky ledges and steeper sections. All in all a great November hike!
