Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: we spotted a car at LW which was nearly full at 7am and only a few spots left at 7:30. too many cars lining both sides of the Kanc in the afternoon when we returned. drive slow and stay vigilant. No spots left at the lot on the hairpin turn, but we figured it out. about a dozen cars parked roadside here at 3:30pm when we returned.

Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: all rock hopped or waded. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: There are at least a dozen trees across Cedar Brook trail, but most are easily stepped over. some soggy mud spots, but again no show stoppers. Pleasantly surprised at the overall condition of the Cedar Brook...it seems to get regular traffic. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: great trails for dogs. plenty of water. 
Bugs
Bugs: the mosquitoes were pretty thick on Cedar Brook. it was a toss up between stopping and getting attacked while reapplying dope or trying to out run them. we stopped and reapplied and they were still feisty.  
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: nada. 
 
Comments
Comments: redline hike: 17miles RT. a very pleasant day. if you're looking for a long walk in the woods away from crowds, this will fit the bill. On the way out we took a dip in the river which was the icing on the cake. surprised to see only one or two occupied sites at the tent sites. hiked the portion of Pine Island trail that is still hike-able and checked out the storm damage and the way the river now flows. WOW! it's worth the out and back, Mother Nature doesn't mess around.
