Owl's Head cairns and signs removed

[Mike P.]

A little ways north of the Owl's Head Path junction, the Lincoln Brook trail is washed out at a bend in the brook. A bit further north the trail turns right and angles uphill gaining 20-30 yds in elevation...then traverses the contour for about a half-mile before descending and crossing the brook about .7 miles north of the Owls head Path.

Between the Owl's Head Path and 13 Falls there are several places where the trail is very difficult to follow. Even experienced hikers have been benighted out there.

It did look pretty bad at that bend, I went the hill a bit but couldn't find the trail. Not knowing what I would find & having had decent luck on bushwhacks that followed brooks (especially one that I knew where it went) it seemed to make more sense to head towards the car & maybe get lost Vs. heading away from the car & still maybe getting lost.
