Comments
Comments: Prototypical Waumbek hike today…

Raw, windy, cloudy, etc.

Whatever storm(s) rolled through yesterday must have come in fast and furious. Trails were relatively dry, but the leaf litter was pushed to the sides of the trail. Had to have been a fast moving river of water to do that. Also looks like it blew out a few water bars along the way.
