	Trail Maintenance Notes:	There are some stepovers on both trails. Some are a little tall for shorter legs but I managed without needing to get too creative.

	Bugs:	I did see some flying around but I gave them the stink eye and they left me alone.

	Lost and Found:	Nothing lost and nothing found. I did not see anything hanging from the sign at the trailhead either.


	Comments:	After a most delightful and restful weekend playing tourist at home and leaf peeping and attending all sorts of local events, it was lovely to be back in my usual stomping grounds. I avoided the leaf peepers initially by starting kind of early. There was one car at Sabbaday when I drove past and 2 more pulling in but I was the only one at Pind Bend Brook. The trail was wet and I was in and out of spitting rain so nothing really dried. The leaf litter is getting quite a bit deeper which wasn't too much of an issue ascending but required a lot of care descending on the steeps. There are still some larger rocks sticking out above the leaves but they were wet so that didn't help a whole lot. Higher up things were some better with less deciduous trees but the rocks were still slick. I saw 3 other hikers today and all were having a great day as was I. We were pretty socked in up high but it looked like it was clearing as I descended but then it started raining again. Mother Nature just seemed a little confused today. I had a great day just puttering around and was just happy to be out. And I saw TWO moose at Pinkham Notch on my way home so that was the icing on the cake!
