| Lost and Found: |
If you find a red 40-ounce hydroflask, you're welcome to it. It came unclipped as I slipped on ice and fell backwards. I saw it skittering down the icy path as I struggled to get upright! My tribute to the mountain gods! |

| Comments: |
Great hike. Up until the second stream crossing, the trail was pretty mellow. Then, as someone else wrote, "the work begins!" The AT from the intersection of Stony Brook Trail to the Imp Shelter was less traveled, resulting in a more post-holing than previously on the trail. |
