| Water Crossing Notes: |
Large crossing on Pemi East Side Trail is tricky. Many of the stepping stones are currently submerged. Wear waterproof boots or wade. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Top of a tree is dangling over the Pemi East Side Trail just past the large crossing. Bottom of the branches touch the trail, so it's not all that dangerous...just inconvenient. |

Light rain kept most of them away. Pulled a tick off of Max. |

| Lost and Found: |
Found a dark blue, part-cotton, long-sleeved men's shirt on the Pemi East Side Trail near the wash-out (between parking lot and Pine Island Trail). It's now at the Ranger's Station. |

| Comments: |
Easy and scenic redlining hike. Pine Island Trail is beautiful -- kudos to the maintainers for their fantastic post-Irene reconstruction and maintenance. Pemi East Side is fun -- Lady Irene's footprints are still clearly visible and very much awe-inspiring. |
