|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
First time crossing the river on Lincoln Brook, it was easy to rock hop but I can envision others having problems. With a higher water table I can see where this becomes a dangerous area. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails were in great shape today |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
A couple of unleashed dogs today none of which were an issue. There were 2 dogs (I also own the same breed so I maybe partial) unleashed but very friendly and the owner had very good voice control, in fact they even hiked with me from the old to new summit. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Very few but they were around |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
A LEKI Pole at the summit of Owl's Head, rushed ahead to catch up with Tim L since he would be moving at a faster pace than I for the way back. |
