Lower 19 Mile Brook trail showed some erosion from Irene, but nothing tricky. Rest of this trail and Wildcat Ridge were as normal.

Second bridge on the trail (approx .25 miles before the dam) is askew. Not totally washed out, but halfway off its base. Looks like trail maintainers added some nice planks, so crossing is possible. All other stream crossings fine.

Blowdowns minimal, perhaps have already been removed.

No special equipment, oh, except the bike I rode from my car at Wildcat to the start of the hike at 19 mile. Fun way to do this hike if you are going solo. Poles were helpful on the Wildcat ski slopes going down.

Hot and very humid day to hike. Skies absolutely opened about 30 mins after I finished.

Happy to have finally finished my second round of the 48! Now what?! :D
