Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: We grabbed one of the last spots in the AMC Cardigan Lodge lot at 7:30. On our return, the lot was still full and vehicles where parked along Shem Valley Road all the way to and up the steep blind curve where the road crosses Clark Brook. Crazy!

Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Nothing of note -- everything is bone dry from the drought. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Other than the recent large blowdown on the Back 80 Trail (see our post from a couple of days ago), all of the trails are in great shape -- recent work evident on the Elwell Trail with brushing, blowdown and deadfall removal. NOTE: a short temporary bypass around the Back 80 Trail blowdown has been clipped and flagged -- very helpful until the blowdown can be cut and removed.

Comments
Comments: Lovely, quiet day out -- only people we saw were either near the lodge (very busy) or the three groups on the Elwell Trail. Two of the groups didn't really know where they were because they couldn't get cell service for their trail apps. One of the two was completely lost. We gave them directions and hope that they got where they needed to go.
