|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Found a space at Lincoln Woods around 10:30, but a lot of cars were parked along Route 112. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
None of significance. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One or two stepovers remain on the Osseo Trail. Members of our group removed a couple on the Osseo Trail as well as one on Lincoln Woods Trail.
The Osseo Trail is rapidly falling apart. The vast majority of the stone staircases are either failing or have failed. Lots of sections have unmitigated water flow due to no drainage. It's staggering to see how this once-relatively-smooth footbed is deteriorating. |

 | Comments: |
Lincoln Woods Trail had some dry and muddy stretches from recent rainfall. Osseo was generally damp with areas of mud and running water, as well as slippery rocks. The short section of the Franconia Ridge Trail was also damp.
Congratulations to SilverFox on his total-knee-replacement-grid-finish. |
