 | Comments: |
Bottom part of the trail was muddy with running water. Dusting of snow started at junction with old trail from the 116. Flow ice for the last 1/2 mile up to the ridge (Kinsmans trail junction) Very icy up to North Kinsman. Lots of freezing puddles on the way to South Kinsman. I could walk over some, broke thru others. No hikers again today... |
