 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry, though slippery due to humidity. We hiked over the top and down Bennett Street, a few tenths past Gleason junction, looking for Kamala the lost dog (no luck).
Sandwich Mountain Trail was in normal shape. Drakes Brook Trail has seen some damage, but it is passable and doesn't appear to be dangerous, nor does it have any water flowing down it at the moment. |
