Route: Peabody Brook Trail, Middle Mountain Trail

Peabody Brook Trail is basically a woods road up to the trail junction - dry and in good shape.

Middle Mountain Trail was also generally dry, with a few minor patches of mud. Some of the moss covered ledges were a little slippery (ie the moss was moving around underfoot). The trail, between the logging road portion and the ledges, is quite vague - no footbed established and fresh leaves over the top - but the blazing is fresh and adequate.

Some very nice past-peak foliage colors throughout.
