 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A few blowdowns, esp. on upper part of the SBT. Most were small (folding saw suitable), a few larger (3' bowsaw suitable). A couple of big ones (axe material), but these can be stepped over. Just 2 or 3 of the strainer-type blowdowns were a bit vexing. Brushing generally good, though needs some touching up here and there. Signage okay. |

 | Comments: |
Trail generally in good shape. Some ice (and a little bit of snow) on final +/- .4 mile (Sandwich Mountain Trail).Some may want light traction, though I did okay without today (though I had microspikes along for the ride). |
