 | Comments: |
Trails were wet from the heavy rains last night. Lots of mud, puddles, and slippery rock/roots.
Summits were initially in the clouds, but started to clear on the return to North Kinsman. Some sun thereafter, but the rumble of thunder early in the afternoon reaffirmed our plan to start/end early. Humid day with temperatures in the 70s. |
