Date of Hike: 08/30/2011
Trail Conditions: dry. Minor muddy sections. Moderate erosion in trail higher up (below Camp spur). No blowouts. Bridges intact. Clear of blowdowns from TH to spur.
Special Equipment Required:
Comments: Big day on the Piper trail assessing post-Irene damage. It felt real good to visit my trail and I was relieved at the minimal damage. Drainage work held up real well. Patched a few sections of erosion in the middle of the footbed. Will have to return to finish that work. Cleaned 30 key drainage points that were filled in or needed touch ups. Chopped 10 decent sized blowdowns. Patrolled to Penacook camp, reattached temporary tarp on shelter. Will return this weekend hopefully to finish the summit and upper areas possibly patrolling from Champney Falls side.
