10/29/09 Thomaston Town Forest/ Oyster River Bog

We had previously started this trail at the Route 90/Oyster River Bog end of the trail. I think that end is nicer. This time we started from the Thomaston Town Forest end at the water treatment plant. The trail was quite wet and muddy and noisy for the first half hour. It improved a bit after that but there were still many muddy sections. Kelley thought the trail was just fine. Once we crossed onto the Oyster River Bog section we started to gain a little elevation and conditions improved. We hiked to a somewhat open area just before the power lines on the map and returned the way we had come. 3 1/2 hours
