 | Comments: |
Wet, wet, wet. It had been raining up here for a few days and I was quickly soaked due to the brushiness of the boundary walk. Also lots of smooth and slippery ledge to be mindful off. Once off the swath, things were still wet but not as overgrown. Very quiet on this short loop and didn't see any other humans. |
