	Trails:	Sabbaday Brook Trail, Mt. Tripyramid Trail

	Date of Hike:	Tuesday, September 27, 2011

	Parking/Access Road Notes:	Plenty of parking at the Sabbaday Brook Trailhead.

	Surface Conditions:	Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock

	Recommended Equipment:

	Water Crossing Notes:	All were low enough to walk across on rocks. A few in the group did buswhack to find a comfortable way to cross.

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	The Sabbaday Brook Trail shows significant storm erosion. Parts of the trail along the brook had large piles of sand, rocks and debris in many areas. At the last water crossing a 25 foot bank had collapsed leaving clumps of up rooted trees. There was a large blowdown across the trail here that needs to be cleared. The section of the Mount Tripyramid Trail we hiked was dry and in good shape.

	Dog-Related Notes:	The two yellow labs we saw came up Scaur Ridge and were having a grand time. Did not see any real hazards for dogs.

	Bugs:	We did see a cloud of mosquitoes at the summit of Middle Tri so did not linger

	Lost and Found:


	Comments:	Despite the water erosion from Irene on Sabbaday Br. Tr., the trails in general were mostly dry with no standing water or mud. A beautiful clear and calm day for this Over the Hill gang hike.
