BRIEFLY DESCRIBE SPECIFIC TRAILS HIKED AND TRAIL CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED:

CCC camp area. Ridgewood to 4011, 4042 out to Dead end (as loop), 4066, out and back to gas plant, 4012, 4049, 4073, 4090, 4096, 4049, 4046, 4085, 4083, 4042, 4023, 4010, Ridgewood.

WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR HIKE: Great night. A bit warm at 6:00, but fine.

OTHER COMMENTS (problems, views, terrain, etc.) Great hike. There was one ‘wrong turn’ that resulted in getting out a bit later than planned, but otherwise an uneventful RLBH Hike. This hike intentionally covered trails that have recently been maintained by SEM. Nice to hike this section without having tons of branches down across some of the less used parts.

IMPORTANT: Contact Hike Committee Chair ASAP with any medical emergencies or other serious incidents.
