| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Lots of stepover blowdowns on Mt. Langdon Trail, but most can be done without breaking stride. Mt. Parker Trail needs attention - lots of axe-necessary blowdowns. I cut out three smaller ones. Brushing needed as well - if one were to come off Mt. Parker from the north, it could be challenging to find the trail right now, due to the encroaching bushes. |

| Bugs: |
Mosquitoes were out (but not too bad) for the first mile or so. Deer flies off and on for the first 3 miles, but there is one less one as of this evening. |

| Comments: |
Trails were dry. I don't think the Mt. Parker Trail has seen much trail maintenance in the past few years - I found myself climbing over the same ones I climbed over in 2008. Didn't have enough daylight to try to saw the bigger blowdowns, but took out a few smaller ones. Nice views from the summit. |
