 | Comments: |
Light snow all the way to N. Kinsman and then just a few flurries the rest of the day and no sun. We put microspikes on leaving the campground and had them on all the way. The fishin Jimmy trail had significant ice flows on the steep spots but were easy to get around or over with microspikes. There were tracks of two people and a dog who bare booted up after us and may not have gone any further than the fishin Jimmy trail before turning around. I think that might have been a challenge. |
