Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Basically the reason for this post: The fairly new culvert pipe just north of the parking lot is clogged and the pond is covering most of the trail, but still easily passable (unless more rain). Seems like an easy fix for the DCR. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Big dogs, little dogs, pink dogs, I saw it all!! 
Bugs
Bugs: A guy tried to put trash into the old pay kiosk (thinking it was a trash barrel) in the parking lot and shook up some bees.

Comments
Comments: I could not believe the views from East Watatic...Even the Boston Skyline was visible.

This is an easy round trip with most people opting to take a right at the first intersection (yellow blaze), but I think its easier (and a little longer) to stay straight on the blue blaze trail up and take a right at Nutting Hill.
