 | Comments: |
Passed a group of about 20 people who seemed to have camped closeish to the parking lot. Between Eliza Brook Shelter and South Kinsman, there are some patches of stable and unstable monorail. Some of it we were postholing 6 inches, other steps we wouldn't sink at all. Maybe about a 1/4 - 1/2 mile of this. |
