Comments
Comments: Much of the trail was dry but there was water here and there although nothing major. No obstructions that blocked any trailways. The worst was a good size tree in the Hale Brook Trail up high but it was easy to get by.
Rhodora in bloom near Zealand Pond, Zeacliff area, and the bog area on the Lend-a-Hand trail. Also saw Shadbush in the same area as the Rhodora. The series of waterfalls near Zealand Falls hut were nice today. Good conversion with Aaron on the Cohos Trail and Nash Stream area.
