Saw tons of dogs on Lincoln Woods trail, but none after that |

Black flies and mosquitoes were terrible at some points and non-existent at others. When they were there, they were relentless. Bug net helped. Don't miss a spot with your bug spray, they'll find it. |

Saw a trekking pole left behind at one of the "stealth" sites along lincoln brook trail after last crossing. Meant to grab it on way back, but forgot. |

 | Comments: |
Many parts of the trail were just running streams. Lots and lots of mud. If you take Brutus bushwhack coming down, be aware that the trail turns right before/at the stream, not across it. You can see what looks like a trail across, but that's not the bushwhack. |
