Started just before 7:00 am at the Paul Smith's VIC. Before reaching the Lake Clear area briefly had to backtrack after missing a turn. Very wet along the power line corridor with at least 4 beaver dam blocked crossings. The railroad tracks from Lake Clear to Saranac Lake were easy, but the climb up McKenzie pass was brutal. The short section in Lake Placid just before the Crowne-Plaza climb was again blocked with severe flooding, which slowed my efforts to a snail's pace. The trails after the golf course (Logger's Loop) and the climb into Craig Wood was dry and clear. Once crossing Rt. 73 and into Cascade property, again it was very wet, saturated. After the Mountain Run climb and the descent into Keene, again, 3 beaver dams with completely blocked trails.
