Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Trails are in excellent shape, some yellow blazing but it wasn't really needed since the trails were easy to follow. There are several blow downs, mainly just stepovers or duckunders, but all this is detailed in the report from Monday by Zero. Seems that Zero did some minor trail work, thank you so much. The branches on several blow downs were removed for easier passage, thanks again for all the work. One birch down close to the BA summit was a bit more of straddle over, even for taller people. I also helped flick a few branches from the trail. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Cooper had fun on the trails. as usual. There are several water crossings with flowing water for the thirsty pup; multiple at the lower sections of the Attitash trail on the way up to Table, and a few in the COL between the peaks, especially shortly after descending Table. Coop walked in to a 'puddle' on the edge of the bog area, and went up to his chest in muddy water. Flowing streams at just before the parking lot are useful for cleaning and cooling off. 
Bugs
Bugs: They are bad. Got bit on my only exposed body parts, my hands, yup. Used netting when needed, but mostly moved fast and didn't stop. Some breezes, but not always enough to keep them at bay.

Comments
Comments: Good views to the south just below summit spur of Table. Rest was a nice hike in the woods. Both peaks are viewless, but there are glimpses of adjacent peaks through the trees. Saw only 6 others up to Table Mtn, then only a solo trail runner the remainder of the day.
