Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: A few rotten logs over the mud on Lost pond trail. Near the end of the pond there is a false trail starting to the left where the true trail goes right but is rather grassy and not immediately obvious. Placed branches across false trail hope it works. Wildcat ridge trail is steep and rocky with many ledges. Trail is in fine shape but sadly found 2 piles of poop and 3 pieces of toilet paper on trail.
