 | Comments: |
Beautiful day with the clouds clearing early revealing fall colors, the smells of fallen leaves and pine, blue skies, dramatic white clouds, and the promise of winter in the air. One hiker bailed due to travel delays and another stayed back with the Old Brown Dog but two others scored 3 more for the list. Kestrel data not obtained. |
