Happy Birthday USA! It was humid, but tolerable due to 65-70F temps and low clouds. There's wet spots throughout and significant mud on Cascade Brook Trail. The Kinsman Ridge to Lonesome Lake section was very tough, but seems like that's nothing new. Not many blazes, so it was easy to get off trail when scaling or sliding down steep rocks and knarly trees. There were many people at the Lonesome Lake cabin and enjoying swimming in the lake on a nice summer day. This was #15/48 for me and #16/48 for my son. 5 hrs 42 min total car to car |
