Comments
Comments: Unknown Pond Trail (Mill Brook side), Kilkenny Ridge

Lower part of UPT is wet and muddy. Looks like with heavy rains (not that we've had those) that the trail is part of the runoff zone. We could avoid the mud and the rest of the trail was in great shape with the exception of it needs brushing back. Kilkenny Ridge needs blowdown clearing (herd paths around most) and brushing back. Blazes could be redone. Pleasant (dare we say cool) temps and no bug issues led to a great day out. James got number 44, and maybe the start of some other lists.
