Comments
Comments: Lonesome Lake Tr. nice; a little wet in spots. Fishin' Jimmy Tr. much wetter; walking in stream for significant distances and lots of wet rock which would've been slow going if I'd gone down same route. Kinsman Ridge Tr. was nice from Kinsman Jct. out to both Kinsmans. From Kinsman Jct. to Cannon it was a mix of dry trail, lots of mud, lots of running or standing water and wet rock. Slow going. Going down KRT had lots of slick ledge and rocks where I found hiking poles very helpful to keep myself upright. Nice, long distance views on a cloudy day with a light snow flurry between Northeast Cannon Ball and Cannon.
