| Comments: |
Overall really great trail conditions, very minimal mud. Shelters were all in good shape, the privy at Story Spring was less than desireable but can't win them all. Glastenbury fire tower is currently closed due to structural concerns, Strattons is still open as usual. Lot of mud down between Stratton-Arlington and IP road.
Report and pictures below. |
