Did Owl's Head for #48 on Sunday 9/19/10. Lincoln Woods to Black Pond Trail was as always. Black Pond Trail had some muddy spots but easily avoided. The bushwhack was dry. Lincoln Brook Trail was muddy in spots but easy to avoid. Water crossing was rock hoppable. The slide was easier than expected. The Brutus Bushwhack was thick in the spruce section and lots of blowdowns (I'm sure it's much easier in winter). The second crossing of Lincoln Brook was also easy. Franconia Brook was hoppable downstream but we waded. Franconia Brook Trail was great with some small muddy patches. Very nice hike despite the reputation some give it.
