| Water Crossing Notes: |
On the way up, had to walk upstream about 10 yards to find a place to cross on the first crossing. No issue on the way down. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A couple of large blowdowns hanging above Greeley Pond Trail on the way out to the ponds. Both are delimbed, one looks old, one looks fresh. Probably nothing to worry about since they both look well-supported.
Took one for the team and cleared out about 50 spiderwebs this morning also. |

All the pups I saw looked like they were having a blast. |

Not terrible. Annoying on the way down, but for this time of year, totally bearable. |

| Comments: |
Not a ton to report. First time back on this trail in almost 3 years.
There is some serious trail creep going on around the wet areas of Mt. Osceola Trail on the way up to East. Not sure if this is from winter travel or summer travel, but it’s very noticeable.
Trail is steep and rocky, but better footing (IMO) than coming from the Tripoli side. |
