Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Drakes Brook Trail is VERY muddy - lots of drainage issues. Sandwich Mountain Trail is hard to find when ascending in the area of the open ledges - I really had to hunt around for the actual trail since there were so many herd paths and no blazing (that I could find) and I've been through there many times, but not going up.

Comments
Comments: Always fun to do this loop - think this is the first time I've done it CCwise. NO views from any of the outlooks, however. Downpour after downpour after downpour all morning - pretty much soaked head to toe. Glad to have a change of clothes back in the car :)
