 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Pine Bend Brook crossings not bridged but all easily rock-hopped. Umpteen ridiculous trail crossings on lower reaches of Sabbaday Brook Trail neither safely bridged nor hoppable - happy for good gaiters and warm, water proof boots. Would avoid - wish we'd whacked. |

Minor blowdowns on Pine Bend Brook. Larger blowdowns on Sabbaday Brook requiring hike-arounds. |

 | Comments: |
Still not quite enough snow coverage to warrant snowshoes and crampons. Made do with microspikes most of the day, but wish they were sharper. :) Very icy on upper reaches of both Pine Bend and Sabbaday. |
