A couple blowdowns on the Round Pond Trail. One right above the Fire Road Junction and another just above the Round Pond-Piper Link Junction. There is also a leaner hung up in a small tree that will need to come down at some point as well. Wish I had my bigger saw today. |

| Comments: |
Beautiful loop around some great terrain in the Belknaps. Trails were generally dry with an occasional muddy spot. BRATTS work around Round Pond is holding up very well, some great improvements to the trail. Looked to be some recent ATV activity up to the summit of Mack from the pond. Lots of mud/standing water on the Mt Mack-Round Pond Trail. Great day to be out, many other were enjoying it as well. |
