 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Few blowdowns that have around for a while; nothing significantly rerouted around. Cleared a waterbar and a slot in ledges which stopped water flow down in a tricky spot in the tower section. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
As ckeller stated in Sept. there is bear activity; probably not an issue when trails are busy. Another local told me he has seen more bears than usual this year on south end of Catamount Tr. down lower. |

 | Comments: |
Another great view day today. Trails wet with lots of leaf cover. Must have showered fairly hard last night because road section got beat up a bit. Quiet, week day morning. Ridge Tr. easily followed this weekend despite leaf coverage (a concern with a few hikers I talked to). |
