 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Our work party of 3 (and 2 dogs) were joined in the morning by a beagle at the Tunnel Brook TH. Initially, we thought the owner was around, but no one ever showed, and the beagle stayed with us all day. The beagle is now with the Humane Society in Conway. Phone 603-447-5955. Please contact them directly if you know anything about this dog. |

 | Comments: |
Not an attempt on Moosilauke - but a trailwork day. Main purpose of the report is to bring attention to the stray dog - see dog section above.
Minor ice-patches above 4,000 ft. No need for traction - IMHO. |
