| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
All trails in good shape. There were signs that WODC has been out on Kate Sleeper this spring. The only obstructing blowdown on the trail is north of West Sleeper, a spruce top, slight heard path forming around it. The newer KST sign on the junction with the South Slide of MTT is standing proud. One thing to note when on Passaconaway Cutoff, there is an older hardwood leaner hung up that you would probably have walked under without a care, well it is now much lower; probably not a good idea to crawl under. Water bars and drainages have been cleared. Thank you maintainers! |

| Comments: |
Ice out can essentially be declared on these trails. While there were a few very small patches of ice up high in shaded areas they can simply be stepped over. It's possible these will not survive the weekend.
