Comments
Comments: Lovely walk in the woods! Lots of water everywhere made for beautiful cascades following the brook on bunnell notch trail. Quite muddy in spots, but not as bad as I’d feared. Some ice in the final approach to cabin and between cabin and summit. Did not need traction, as there are enough rocks above the ice.

I did notice a couple of “studs”on the trail from traction aids that feature replaceable spikes...if you are looking to buy traction items I would caution against that type. By spring the trails are littered with those little neon “discs.”

See above for note on lost and found.
