 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All the water crossings were "plump" from the other night's rains, but crossings were more than possible with dry shoes. If there's no rain for the next few days, expect the crossings will get even easier. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Overall, the trails were fine, however, the winds from the other night were very evident. I cut apart about 4-5 blow-downs to clear passage -- enough to add at least half an hour to my trip. |

I don't know if "if you're planning to hike Owl's Head, this is the day" applies, but it was a bluebird day, nonetheless.
Photos and a more detailed report are on my blog. |
