Comments
Comments: Fire Road was soft in the places where it was overhauled, but otherwise not bad. Round Pond Trail to the pond had some areas of muck and running water, but generally avoidable. Round Pond Piper Link had some minor mud and some puddles to go around.
Some mud, running water, and puddles on the way up Klem, as well as a few tiny patches of ice. Also some puddled water in the vicinity of the Klem summit on the way to Mack.
Access road portion of the descent off Mack was soggy and there were a few places rutted up by a four wheeler. Pooled water on the trail just prior to reaching the shore of Round Pond.
