Comments
Comments: Great late afternoon out and back. No snow or ice left on Fishin’ Jimmy or Kinsman Ridge except for one small patch on Fishin Jimmy that doesn’t impact trail or warrant spikes. All of the slabs on Fishin’ Jimmy that were wet still had a lot of grip and no moss yet! The new boardwalks around Lonesome Lake are a special treat! Some trees down on Fishin Jimmy but easy to step over/limbo under. Hats off to the AMC staff for all they do with programming and supporting hikers.
