Lowest unbridged crossing on SBT was a ford and your feet will get wet right now. Other two crossings were easy rock hops. |

Lots of blowdowns and branches on both trails. We flicked/threw off a bunch. Unclogged some waterbars. Ones on SBT especially need cleaning. |

| Comments: |
Really only patchy snow & mostly unstable monorail left nearing Moriah’s summit and here & there along the ridge south to Stony Brook Trail. Lots of mud pits & standing water with nowhere to go. Did fine sans traction. Saw only one other hiker out there. Ran back to the car on Bangor Street & got to use the cool bouncy bridge! |
