| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails are in good shape, but Spectacle Pond Trail is getting brushy in some sections between beaver pond and Spectacle Pond. Also, one large recent blowdown on White Trail just past the southern edge of Spectacle Pond -- a Silky Saw should take care of most of it, and then it becomes a stepover. |

| Comments: |
Very quiet on the trails today -- no one out. Ten degrees cooler, too, in the shade and with a gentle breeze. We headed to the pond and then took our favorite route up to the view ledges overlooking Spectacle Pond, before heading down the Orange Trail. |
