 | Comments: |
Left the parking lot at about 8:45, just in time to hear distant thunder and light rain. Made the decision to continue rather than heading back to the car and paid for it when the sky opened up a few minutes later. Trail and drainage were running for the next half hour and remained wet for the rest of the hike. One significant mud pit that was easily navigated using the large, and carefully placed stepping stones - Thank You. Humidity was higher than expected before the the rain, and seemed to increase immediately after - the mosquitoes loved it - I didn't. Less humid and buggy coming down. First hike of the season where no snow was encountered, no monorail or ice on trail or seen off trail. |
