 | Comments: |
Not much to add to Pepper'n'me's excellent report from yesterday. This was a delightful hike today with my California friend Bart, who reminded me that I had taken him up North Kinsman before, in September a couple of years ago. Great, I said, just 10 more ascents in the other 10 months and you can check off this peak from your grid list. |
