Comments
Comments: Wild River Road road walk (2.85 miles) was dry; as noted above, drivable, so easily bikeable if you so choose.

Burnt Mill Brook Trail was mostly dry, but a steady carpet of leaves made it slow going in a few places. No mud encountered.

Still plenty of late foliage colors. Generally golden on the trail, with some oranges and reds along the road walk. Seems like Plymouth and Jackson/Bartlett are peak.

Saw no other hikers.

Sunny morning with temperatures rising out of the 40s into the 60s.
