| Water Crossing Notes: |
Very simple and nice. there is a small cascade on the Fishin' Jimmy to cross over; just be sensible and don't step on mossy wet rocks and you'll be fine |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
98% excellent, very good signs, no blowdowns. The 2% is the small foot bridge near the beginning of Lonesome Lake trail; could use some attention |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Several friendly ones, all having a good time. Given the wet areas near Lonesome Lake, they WILL get muddy. |
|
| Bugs: |
Alpine Assault! None all the way up, then a few black flies on North Kinsman. Then, near the top of South Kinsman, all the black flies came out with a vengeance. |

| Comments: |
Despite the overnight storm, there was not an exessive amount of wet rocks and mud. There is the usual mud near the lake. This was a fantastic day; clear blue skies, beautiful clouds in the afternoon (but not rain clouds). Special treat - seeing a mother moose and her two little ones near Lonesome Lake. #29 #30 for us. |
