 | Comments: |
Only remaining ice on Mt. Kinsman Trail is located just before the junction of Kinsman Ridge Trail. Kinsman Ridge still has a significant amount of ice. Wild Bill Cronin bare booted the entire hike while Lady Di & I did the spikes on/spikes off routine and found the spikes very helpful. It was a miserable day with plenty of rain and lots of running water on the trails from last night's heavy rain fall.
No doubt I did my fair share of whining but all in all it still was a great day out with my main squeeze and Wild Bill Cronin. |
