Comments
Comments: A beautiful late afternoon hike to the Kinsman Pond Shelter for a chilly but fun "Spring" overnight. Barebooted on mostly bare ground with patchy icy monorail that became more prevalent at 3rd crossing. Micros on the at 3rd crossing down to the flume and to the Shelter. KRT is a sidewalk. Snowshoes went along for the ride. Swept and packed out some misc garbage on upper loft of shelter. i did leave a nice pair of socks that someone surely will need in the near future.
