Trails in great shape. The Black Pond Trail sign could use some brown paint to cover the graffiti. Sad days... The Owls Head Path has a couple tricky spots due to increased erosion. Those spots remind me of parts of the KRT. |

| Lost and Found: |
Lost a Petzl Accu Core battery just before Black Pond Trail after taking a hard fall on a railroad tie- coincidentally just hours before the first day of fall. Mustve fell out of pocket. I didnt discover missing till much later when needed. Found and packed out some nasty socks and a very small amount of garbage. Thankyou to the hiker that packed out the roll of tp hanging from a branch. I planned on grabbing it on return🙂 |

Excellent day for Owls Head. Minor avoidable mud with a few stepovers on the BP bushwhack. The bushwhack as others have mentioned is pretty much a trail and one that's fairly easy to follow. I met 9 hikers on my way back and another dozen on Lincoln Woods Trail. I spoke with one hiker who just spotted a bear approx 1000 ft before the Osseo Trail |
