 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
More of a note to the land owners, but some of the maple lines are torn down from downed trees and cross directly over the trail at shin height.
Sort of odd how there's no sign pointing left where Old Paugus meets Bickford, just one to continue Bickford.
Lots of downed trees in the Old Paugus Gully. Beeline could use some water bar cleaning but nothing major.
Sign at base of Bolles and Beeline Cutoff is off the post. |

Pretty nice day out in a seldom-explored area. I enjoyed all the trails except for the Gully part of Old Paugus trail- I'm glad I went up but I would've really hated that wet or in the winter! Bickford trail was an unexpected delight gorgeous woods and very well marked.
