Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: The crossing on the Mt Coe trail below the slide are 'interesting'. Upper portion of the Marston Trail is in a stream bed. Many slippery spots. Most of the Coe slide was a water crossing.  
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Below the lower Mt Coe intersection the Marston Trail has has a significant (and really nice) re-route. From the upper Mt Coe intersection to just below North Brother, it's a mess. I happened across the guy who directs trail maintenance for Baxter. He told me that they are not doing maintenance on the upper section as it is scheduled for a re-route, but that work was delayed by their current work re-routing the Abol Trail. Some walk-over blowdowns on the Mt Coe trail between S Brother and the Marston intersection 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: None seen. This is probably not a dog-friendly route. 
Bugs
Bugs: Not a problem 
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: Lost my purple Buff on the way back from Fort. Email me if you find it please.
