Nothing noteworthy- easy enough rock-hops, or otherwise bridged |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Cleared a couple of blowdowns on Ammo (one small stepover between the cog spur junction and gem pool, and one larger head-banger just above the gem pool), and one decent sized stepover on Jewell between the cog spur and the Boundary Line trail.
Noticed many cairns on Jewell looked like they had been recently kicked over... I did what I could to rebuild a bunch of them (without spending all day doing so), but further attention will be required before snow flies. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw a few happy pups out today- all the owners I spoke with seemed well aware of the need to monitor paws for abrasion |

Nothing of note |

| Comments: |
Great day for Mt. Washington- up Ammo, down Jewell. Got to the summit just as some clouds rolled in, relaxed for a bit in the summit building, and watched the clouds roll out just as we were getting ready to head out! |
