 | Water Crossing Notes: |
No issues crossing streams. Dry Brook on the FWT is running high, but not overflowing, so crossing was easy. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Two crews are working on the OBP down low. They're drilling and splitting granite to make and install steps. It's interesting to watch. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
|
|
 | Bugs: |
Black flies were almost completely absent. The breeze on the ridge kept the various flies and bees away unless you stepped out of the wind behind a rock. They were a minor annoyance. There were a few deer flies in the muddy areas low on the OBP late in the afternoon. |

 | Comments: |
FWT was surprisingly dry. The FRT and Greenleaf were also mostly dry. The OBP had some areas of mud on the lower half - all avoidable. |
