 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Few open spots at 10. Lots of folks in here for the weekend so most cars were still there when we came out at dinner time. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant |
|

|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All easy hops. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
As a previous report indicated, Rattle River is fine, but Kenduskeag is starting to get grown in in spots. Also, while I’m not normally one to complain about bog bridges, there are a few spots where they are sinking into mud that is at least four feet deep (my hiking pole never hit bottom and it was literally all the way in). |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Ours was the only one out today. The mud on Kenduskeag will quite literally swallow even large dogs completely. Care should be taken. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Some annoying gnats on the peak. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Some tents stakes were hanging in a bundle at the shelter. |

 | Comments: |
Many of the bog bridges are very slick — think black ice slick — with the recent rain but it’s not always possible to simply not use them. So be careful. Pics and vid’s coming soon to Insta at quantum.moxie. |
