Comments
Comments: Gorge Brook to Snapper was in good shape. Monoral on the upper carriage road below tree line that was disintegrating rapidly. Benton to Beaver Brook in pretty decent shape but with steadily increasing water, mud, and unstable snow on beaver brook as we headed down. Met a couple coming up Beaver Brook that said the lower sections were still pretty rough. Ridge trail was a flowing stream most of the way down with very rapidly disappearing snow. Occasional post holes but all easily managed. Brought micro spikes, never thought about using them.
