 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All crossings were easy today. Got my foot wet crossing Oliverian Brook but only due to my carelessness. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There is a walkaround blowdown on PBB shortly in. There's some newer signage including Kate Sleeper Trail sign and post at the junction on the south slide, certainly an upgrade over the combination of a faded yellow Y on a rock and weathered sign that blends in with the tree it is mounted too. With each visit to East Sleeper I am more impressed with all the saw work through all the blowdowns. |

Great day to hike instead of work. Fantastic weather with warm temps and a light wind. Zero ice encountered, it's hard to tell it's November. Heavy leaf cover through the hardwoods can obscure hazards though. Surprisingly we didn't encounter a single person all day until Passaconaway Cutoff where who but Steve Smith was out doing some clearing. Always great to chat with him, with each conversation you'll come away more knowledgeable than you were before.
Today got me to #562/576. |
