None that were an issue |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Daniel Doan has quite a few muddy spots, and Cross Rivendell was very bushy (it seems like it’s mostly a snowmobile trail) |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
There are two dogs at the house about 300 yards from the TH, they were very nice but note that they will come and say hello to you/your dog. :) there is a sign on a tree asking you to not let them follow you up the trail. FWIW they did not follow me and my dog.
This was actually the first trip this summer that I’ve had to break out the water bowl for the pup! So much water has been around. |

 | Bugs: |
Lots of mosquitos. |

 | Comments: |
This was a nice little loop of two tracing trails, with the Cross Rivendell trail added to avoid a road walk.
