| Parking/Access Road Notes: |

|

Dry Trail, Wet Trail |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
All easy but the water levels are low. One or two could be tough with high water. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Mostly as previously stated. The shoulder-high weeds encroaching into the Bunnell Notch Trail were wet but not soaking wet in the morning. Trails were dryer than we expected, but it hasn't rained much. The sign at 3.1 miles for the northbound Kilkenny Ridge Trail was missing, leading to some confusion and consternation. Later we met Lindsay from the U.S. Forest Service with the replacement sign strapped to her pack. By the time we descended she had installed it in the right location. The old trail that goes from there to the unmaintained Mt. Cabot Trail is getting grown over. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Many good slurping spots in the lower and middle elevations but not up high. |
|
| Bugs: |
Maybe two seen all day. |
