The trail up Watatic was stable and dry enough to walk without slipping. Some areas of standing water on the flat sections, but you could rock hop across them. The trail past Watatic, heading toward Nutting Hill and then Binney Pond and Pratt Mountain, was very wet with long sections of running water, especially on the Midstate Trail, which I took on the way back. Deep mud in some places, too. |
