The Rocky Branch is running high and I got wet feet on all the crossings, up to the knees a couple of times. With a lighter pack it may be more hoppable. |

|
 | Bugs: |
Bugs were present but not persistent, only got one bite in three days and wasn't even wearing bug dope. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
There's a soft plastic bracelet (Livestrong-style but not Livestrong) hanging on a tree on the Isolation trail above the fourth (maybe fifth, don't recall perfectly) crossing of Rocky Branch.
My (fortunately cheap) sunglasses went into the Rocky Branch on the first crossing by the shelter and were immediately swept away. I'm sure they're in the Gulf of Maine by now but if you see them in the Saco, that's where they came from. |

 | Comments: |
Large amounts of the Rocky Branch trail are under water, turning it into a prolonged rock-hop, and a good chunk of Isolation and Davis path are very mucky. |
