MA: Cape Cod Rail Trail Q
Interested in hearing about the current state of the trail, I haven't been on it for some years now. Any construction/repaving or poorly maintained sections worth knowing about?

the family and I were on it last summer. the main section from South Dennis to Wellfleet is fine. I found the branch to Chatham bumpy and a little crumbly here and there. that branch needed work. also once it dumps you into Chatham it's hard to find your way back to the trail. I suppose every year there are some trees that come down, etc, but now that's it's Memorial Day I'm sure all obstructions have been cleared by volunteers, or city workers. if I don't get out there solo I'll be out there with the family mid-July.
if you go - report back with pictures! :-)
