Great hike up Pine Bend and down Sabbaday brook. Had a newbie with me, inspite of the magnificient day, he retired after North Tri, descending without us, claiming, " I'm not a hiker, its no fun". Anywho, we went on to Middle, then went down Sabb brook. My dog Buddy was in doggy heaven with all the water. The crossings were great, alot of the rocks I used were 2 inches below water, because I'm super lazy at water crossings and my boots are waterproof. The Blazes on both trails could use a new coat of yellow paint. The Sabb brook trail is littered with blowdowns, I wont even guess how many, but if you know the maintainer pass this along. There are step overs, duck unders, complete trailblockers including all the branches, causing detours around. Besides that, the trails are clear, we did find some very small patches of snow, just enough to hold Buddy over till next winter. P.S. My knee is almost 100% healed going into the summer!!! Thanks God.
