Comments
Comments: Z-Bonds Traverse from 9/14-9/15. Perfect weather and the trails were in great shape. The spring at Guyot is flowing well. Note that the first 2 crossings of the Black Brook coming down from Bondcliff (towards Lincoln Woods) as shown on our maps were completely dry. Not a big deal, we filtered a refill at the next crossing at 2,723 feet. Probably could more consequential if you are coming up from Lincoln Woods and expecting higher water, as the last water we encountered was 2 crossings before the map showed. No water until Guyot after passing the brook at 2,273 ft. Brought a brew for the slog out of Lincoln Woods, which made it more rewarding.
