Comments
Comments: Notch Trail was fairly dry (though some bog bridges were slippery) and smooth sailing. Nicest footbed of the day.


Mahoosuc Trail through the notch was slippery, thanks in part to the overnight rain, as well as abundant moss, etc. Slow going, but not as difficult as I had thought it would be.


Lots of slippery ledge ascending up to the height of land near the Arm. Found a very nice view ledge just off the trail prior to the height of land.


One 50 foot section of flooded trail on the May Cutoff, maybe 3" deep.


Speck Pond Trail had lots of wet/slippery ledge up high, then a few areas of somewhat overgrown weeds in the logging cut.
