| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail is in good shape. A few spots need brushing, and there are ~3 lean-intos. One blowdown protrudes into the trail at ankle height, not hard to avoid. It will need to be sawn or pushed further into the woods. I tried to move it but it was stuck between trees |

Saw one, before I saw any humans! Dog was trying to do a ccw loop near the summit. His owners called him back |

None (but I saw a chipmunk;-) |

A peaceful, quiet day on Tecumseh. Mashed potato snow down low, but it's not deep. Higher up, the condition of the trail is better, altho there are a number of icy patches. Spikes are best all the way. I saw some recent snowshoe prints. Very few postholes, except where there were bypasses around icy sections. There isn't enough snow for deep postholes. |
