Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Several brook crossings today. Most were rock hoppable, but a couple were tricky and we just had to suck it up and step on rocks with water pillows. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: For such a remote area, we were pleasantly surprised with how well the trail is maintained, and how easy it was to follow. Maybe it's because it hasn't "leafed" out yet?  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Lots of water and mud... and Chloe had quite the time! 
Bugs

Comments
Comments: This 14 mile loop had a little bit of everything. Roots and rock; mud and dry trail; marsh, birch groves, and spruce forest; woods road, old trails, railroad grade and uneven grade. The views and area around the Perkins Notch tentsite was lovely... but I was glad the bugs weren't out as this is a marshy area. It was enjoyable to visit a lightly used area... very pleasant.

Fun day out redlining with Karen R., Sandy P., John M. & Chloe.
