 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
ugh - mainly around 6 large blowdowns throughout the route - not sure of exact location. Also, blazes quite faded and missing in key areas - lost the trail quite a few times but was able to find within a few minutes each time. Glad I had my GPS tracker on so I could more easily find the trail on the way back. Trail appears to see little use north/east of Percival so it's a nice little adventure. |

 | Bugs: |
first DEET shower of the season - mosquitoes were horrible at the trailhead and near any of the boggy areas |

Terrific day for this 5.3 mile of trail (I did back & forth) - pretty tough trail - SO MANY FREAKING PUDS!!!! I had totally forgotten them - it has been a few years since hiking this part of the trail. Lots of fun outlooks. Only saw people between Morgan and Percival. |
