 | Water Crossing Notes: |
One significant water crossing on DD with moves that required getting the bottom inch of the boots in the water. Feet stayed dry though! |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Two or three downed trails over the whole day, nothing difficult. Daniel Doan was in fairly rough shape at the beginning with how wet it was but nothing crazy. |

Probably would roll for cold-friendly dogs! |

Not much to see today, but a good time of year to get this one out of the way. Never a bad day out in the Middle Connecticuts!
