“The trail was surprisingly dry considering the weather this past weekend. Some mud, some wet rocks in the usual places. Some mud spots up high, a few small patches of snow in the woods. Quiet evening on the trail. About as good as this hike gets right now for spring.”

“This was my fourth pivot for the day. I could not make up my mind where I wanted to go but this was a solid choice. The Avalon trail has plenty of water and mud down low. A-Z was in nice shape and the rocks were dry which made for faster travel. The Willey Range trail was surprisingly dry as well. The bog bridges were wet so I walked carefully on those. Honestly, the trails were excellent today. And I only saw 10 people all day so things were quiet. It was lovely to bump into fellow gridiot, Lauren and her friend Kristen who is working on her spring 48. And I got to pet their dogs so my little heart is happy. I got back to my car 10 minutes before the rain started. Woo hoo!”
