 | Comments: |
The usual, everything is wet and muddy right now. Parts of Polecat are fine, other parts are a little washed out, and plenty of mud in some spots too. Wildcat Ridge is a rain forest at the moment, a few submerged bog bridges along the way, just use caution on the steep slab and slick roots and you'll be fine. Nineteen-Mile Brook Trail had quite a few stretches of running water and more slick rocks, some erosion here and there. Jumped onto the Aqueduct Loop to Great Glen and NH16 to shave off a few miles at the end to finish the loop.
Quiet morning on all trails, saw a few thru-hikers and a few people staying at the hut. Everyone was in good spirits! |
