Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Cedar Brook trail had numerous blowdowns but not so many that they were annoying. Cedar brook trail has a couple of sections with running water and that made the rocks slippery. Small bog\mud hole at the height of land. Hancock loop trail was in great shape and the mud pits were almost dried up. 
Dog-Related Notes

Bugs
Bugs: Unbelievably there were very few.

Comments
Comments: Thought it was time that I gave Cedar brook a try. It isn't used very heavily and has a wild feel about it. Nice pile of rusty stuff at camp 24. Water all along the trail over to the Hancock Loop. Virtually no one on the East Side trail. 3 of the 5 people I saw were headed to bondcliff!!
