 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A fair of amount of new deadfall on the trail. A few brushy sections. A fair number (5? 6?) of blaze trees have fallen -- a few since we last used this trail a couple of months back. Three large (9-to-12-inch) blowdowns, two stepovers and one, at the start of the trail, that forces one around it, up a small slope, and that has a herd path developing around it. All have been there at least since last fall; all three can be taken out with an e-saw. |

 | Comments: |
This is always a nice, quiet leg stretch in the Audubon Society's preserve in Hebron -- we never see anyone on this trail. Some really nice woods and water features. Plenty of red efts and indian pipe. A delight. |
