Lost and Found: Lost my micro spikes. Think I left them on top of the large cairn on S. Kinsman! Could also be at foot of steep section coming back up N. Kinsman from S. Kinsman. 
 
Comments
Comments: Magnificent day on the Kinsmans. Bluebird and the winds were mild. Bummed about the micro spikes but even so it was a great day to be out and about. The trail is a mixed bag of bare ground down low to increasing depths as you ascend. Micro spikes and snowshoes will serve you fine...trail is in great shape...3 others that I bumped into and I snowshoed all the way down so the trail is buff...enjoy.
