Basin-Cascade trail has a reroute down toward the bottom from a bridge being washed out. Our route was straight forward except for one crossing that seems to have trails going everywhere at the brook. It must be more difficult in high water.
Fishin' Jimmy was wet but not as slippery as I remember. My first trip to the new shelter. It looks very nice. A few thru hikers there waiting out the weather. The ridge was is good shape and was quite busy.
The Kinsman Pond Trail had some slippery bog bridges and mossy rocks that required great care yesterday. It also has significant sections that are running water. That said, it is one of the greenest trails with dozens of steamlets and big beds of moss. Thanks to Ali for indulging my redlining. |
