Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: there were a couple of water crossings on Gordon Pond Trail, all rock hoppable (just had to check there wasn't black ice) 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: One has to marvel at the steps and stone work on Kinsman Ridge Trail; Gordon Pond Trail is lightly used, and had large sections that were very muddy... a couple of blowdowns... but generally in good shape / easy to follow. At the southern end of GPT, the trail shares use with sno-mo trails, so pay attention to the signs and keep an eye out for blazes.

Comments
Comments: Gordon Pond Trail was muddy and wet in place, absolutely beautiful in places (birch glades and falls), and a bit boring down low near the power lines.

Wolf Cub is a scrappy whack... but it's done.
