date of hike: 9/19/09
Trails: The Link, Castle Trail, Jefferson loop, Gulfside, Star Lake, Osgood, Howker Ridge Trail
Trail Conditions: The link is in good shape, just one section with rotted single bogs where you have to test your balance, no big deal. Castle is fine. There was alot of rime ice the last mile up to Jefferson summit as of early afternoon, may have melted. Rime ice all around Gulfside trail to Adams summit but not on the trail yet. Howker Ridge trail in great shape, there are a few big cairns at the beginning of the trail so you don't go wondering back to the Osgood Trail by accident.
Comments: Interesting weather, very very windy, wind chills mid 20's, some pretty cool views in the late afternoon once it cleared up. Trip report here http://dailey7779.blogspot.com/
