| Comments: |
Made the grand tour of Pawtuckaway to get a good socially distanced workout and keep it local. There was lots of hiker activity. it was especially concentrated on Mountain up to the tower. The rest of the trails had much more moderate traffic.
Many obviously non hiker trail users as we would expect during these times, along with the usual detritus expected of the uninformed. Please shame this behavior on social media. Sacks of dog shit decorating boulders and trees, tissues scattered on the trail, orange peels. If they're going to litter, at least throw the shit off the trail so we don't see it.
