Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Cleared a few blowdowns on the Mt. Garfield Trail (from high winds a few days ago?). Purpose of trip was trail maintenance on Garfield Ridge. Focused on brushing to better define the trail corridor between junction with Mt. Garfield trail and the Garfield Pond. Also did a bit of strategic blazing near the Garfield Pond where there's evidence of people missing a key turn in the trail.

Comments
Comments: Nice day out for some trail maintenance on the Garfield Ridge. Saw just 3 people out there - include a pemi-looper. The usual wet spots on the way up. Just a bit of ice up high on the steeps, but it's mostly avoidable.
