 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Rock hopping (Kate Sleeper) and log crossing (Dicey's Mill). No issues. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Tons of blowdowns on the Kate Sleeper Trail. Looks like the trail hasn't been maintained in some time. A bit hard to follow due to the blowdowns. Thankfully, there were some footprints in the snow which made it easier. Blueberry Ledge Trail and Dicey's Mill Trails were in great shape. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
|
|
 | Bugs: |
Lots of bugs (black flies?) at lower elevations, but few near the top. Saw a lady on the way down who I think had gotten a bug stuck in her eye. I would recommend using a bug net this time of year. Did not notice any ticks. |

 | Comments: |
Parked at Ferncroft. Took Blueberry Ledge Trail up toward Whiteface, then Kate Sleeper Trail to Downe's Brook. Stealth camped a little past the brook. The next day, continued up to East Sleeper. I'd had enough at that point and didn't want to venture across more blowdowns to get to West Sleeper. So I headed back, turning left at the fork on Rollins Trail, following that to Dicey's Mill Trail to complete the loop down to Ferncroft. |
