***Bee warning*** Ground bees were swarming on the Mack Ridge (Orange) trail a little above the large western viewpoint. I sprinted away fast enough to somehow not get stung. |

Found a red Marmot fleece...left it near the little toolshed/tool box at the upper junction of the Red Trail and Round Pond Road (a few tenths below the pond). |

| Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry and in good shape. Though foliage is still very much green, there were some fantastic colors on some trees and shrubs. |
