Comments
Comments: This was a Plan B hike when a late start/delays with new gear ruled out traveling to S. Kinsman. Limited though nice view of Franconia Ridge at outlook.

Massive boot sucking mud pit on KRT about an hour south of the Reel Brook junction after the series of bog bridges. Herd paths around right as you ascend Wolf helped - after we nearly had to retrieve our son from the quicksand of a totally mushy mess.
