So many blowdowns, mostly on North Carter, Carter-Moriah Trail. We took a trail saw to some smaller ones, lifted some larger ones off the trail, but the big ones required some gymnastics—think pommel horse. |

 | Comments: |
A glorious spring hiking day! Trails were a bit wet, but not all that muddy. The 4-5 small sections of surprisingly stable monorail (mostly before the summit of Middle Carter and between Middle and South) were easy to bare-boot, as they were all heavily covered with pine leaves. Saw only 4 other hikers on the trail. Trillium blooming and fiddleheads sprouting all along the lower part of Nineteen Mile Brook Trail. |
