| Comments: |
Went up Lonesome Lake and Fishin' Jimmy on day one - Fishin' Jimmy is very wet and fairly slick right now.
Camped at Kinsman Pond - nice shelter there with two levels. Tent platforms and shelter were full Sunday night.
Headed up to the Kinsmans via Kinsman Ridge Trail on Monday, encountered your typical muddy stretches and more wet sections. Limited views because of the early summit time.
Went down Mt Kinsman Trail - its VERY muddy in the upper half, fairly dry in the lower half. |
