| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
When I parked at the Flat Mountain Pond Trailhead off Whiteface Intervale Road in Sandwich, the only other vehicle was a Proctor Academy bus, and it was still there when I returned more than 10 hours later.
Ferncroft had only 2 cars left when I got there around 5:15, but I was told it had been full earlier in the afternoon, and Flags on the 48 probably affected that. |

| Surface Conditions: |
Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
An easy crossing of the Whtieface River, which seemed low, just before the Flat Mountain Pond Trail joins the McCrillis Trail. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails all in decent shape, but the steep, rocky sections of the Walden Trail, in particular, were not suited to such a wet day - my bad. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Friendly pooches on the Passaconaway summit, as part of the FOT 48 crew. |
|
| Bugs: |
None. |

| Comments: |
A great way to participate in Flags on the 48, but the bad weather limited views and made the Walden Trail, in particular, a tiring challenge. |
