| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Emerel and I were clearing off the smaller stuff after "old Wilderness Tr. jct." when Jason and Chris appeared for a trail work day with saws and axes cutting through as fast as chainsaws. From this jct. to Bondcliff summit the trail is clear of all blowdowns. Nice chatting with them and a huge thanks for all work done. |

| Comments: |
What started out as cold and windy in the lot turned into an excellent day on Bondcliff. Minimal winds and clear views. Only a trace of snow and a few icy areas to proceed cautiously on. Never felt a need for traction although we had it. Some stepover/duckunders on the old Wilderness Tr. section but as mentioned above the rest is all cleared. Chris pointed out the recent blowdown patches on West Bond which were easily seen from Bondcliff. |
