The snow you mentioned made me over-cautious, thus the reason for carrying the snowshoes. That seems to have ensured there would be no snow or ice on the trail and they got a free ride. I lost count of the blowdowns but some did appear to be fairly recent. A bow saw should handle the job on some of them.<br /><br />You chose a beautiful trail to maintain. I appreciate the work you do to maintain this trail!<br /><br />~Don<br />Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952353487595261073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370090314957013420.post-146927829726320552013-05-20T11:18:54.871-04:002013-05-20T11:18:54.871-04:00Don, this is one of the best reports I've ever...Don, this is one of the best reports I've ever read about a hike to Mt. Tremont. You did a super job of capturing the beauty of the trail along the way, as well as the beauty at the summit. So many reports tend to focus mainly on the 'views from the top'.<br /><br />Your report was also very informative to me as the volunteer maintainer for the Mt. Tremont Trail. A few weeks ago, I did some maintenance on the lower end of the trail, but deep snow prevented me from working on the upper/steeper end of the trail. Thanks to your report, I now know that the snow has melted. And so, I'll be going up there soon to take care of at least some of the downed trees that you mentioned.<br /><br />Did some of the downed trees appear to be recent blowdowns? I know there are several old ones which are too large for me to handle, and so I've left them for a Forest Service crew to handle whenever they have the manpower to get to them.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this report . . . much appreciated!<br /><br />John <br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.com
