date: 6/1/12
trails: pinebend brook trail, mt. tripyramid trail, kate sleeper trail, rollins trail, diceys mill trail, walden trail, square ledge trail, passaconaway cut-off, oliverian brook trail, bike spot
conditions: mostly dry trail except for the standard short bits of mud and wet trail. some wet ledge in spots. a fair amount of blowdown along the route, most of it minor. selected a few for removal along the way. water crossings were all ok. the large brook on passaconaway cut-off necessitated stepping in water which in my experience isn't unusual. beavers have flooded the trail for a short stretch near the dam on oliverian brook trail. bugs weren't a problem when moving, but the black flies found me whenever i stopped for too long.
equipment: i like carrying a water filter for this hike to top off along the way (the small brook below passaconaway being a favored spot).
comments: such a great day to be out hiking. cool temps and nice views. very quiet up there today. one of my favorite loop hikes.
