 | Comments: |
Trails in good condition. The water running in the trail and the muddy areas were inconsequential. No obstructions on the trails. Group of young people with the AMC were performing work on the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail.
There was an excavator across Nineteen Mile Brook from the trail just downstream from the dam.
Met many other hikers including AT sections hikers from Connecticut and Springfield Illinois, a couple from New Jersey, a young woman from Mount Desert Island and her uncle from Stowe Vermont.
Water Lilies in bloom on Carter Lake. |
