I parked at the small lot 1/10 mile beyond the trailhead of Unknown Pond Trail on Mill Brook Road.
Only one other car at the lot, half a dozen on the side of the road on either side of the bridge at the actual trailhead, including a SUV with Maine plates that got too close to the edge of the road and slide sideways off the road into the mud. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A fresh leaners near the beginning of Unknown Pond Trail.
A tree near the top of Mt. Cabot was pulled out by the root ball. Climbing over the root ball was the easiest way around it. |

 | Comments: |
Finally, a cool day for hiking.
The only place you needed to be careful was just below the summit of Mt. Cabot where a little water was running down the gravel, making it very loose. |
