| Water Crossing Notes: |
Though high, the crossings on the York Pond trail were all doable. The one on the Bunnel Notch trail near the start was flowing over the rocks. A log had been laid down beside the rocks but it was not stable. Barring more rain in the near future, this crossing should be dry again in a few days. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The first mile of the York Pond trail had lots of standing and running water, which should be gone in a few days. The ridge could stand to use some brushing between the middle and north peak. There were a couple of walk around blowdowns on the descent to Bunnell Notch. More running water on the upper section of the Bunnell Notch as well as several more large blowdowns. |

| Comments: |
Very pleasant walk despite all the water. The ridge was especially nice, which I think applies to the whole Kilkenny Ridge trail. |
