Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: The only crossing is on Boundary. I waded it both ways (once barefoot; once with shoes/socks on at the end). Jon rocked hopped on the way in (big leaps to wet rocks…lucky to not wipe out). On the way out, he shimmied down the fallen tree.  
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: All trails were in great shape. Boundary is wet, but the newish bog bridges help out a lot (but are extremely slippery). Caps Ridge is in better shape than any other trail that I’ve seen this spring.

Comments
Comments: We carried spikes and snowshoes, but there was literally no snow anywhere except for three 20’ sections which were supportive. Caps Ridge was in fantastic shape. Jefferson Notch Road was firming up nicely and looked great, hoping for roads to start opening soon.
