Excellent condition, with thanks to MATC. A few small muddy sections in low spots. No sign at top of Sugarloaf Side Trail--look for faint blue blazes on rocks & ATC marker about 25 yds down trail. Otherwise all new signs. |

 | Comments: |
Paused at commemorative marker noting completion of AT by CCC workers in late 30's, mid-way to Spaulding. Side trail to left from Spaulding summit led to nice lunch spot with good view cut out to north--Sugarloaf & Bigelow Mtn. Met several thru hikers traveling in equal numbers both directions. North bound left Georgia in Feb. South bound left Katahdin mid-June; will look for them next few weeks in White Mtns. Apologies for mis-spelling Bigelow Mtn the other day. |
