It was a humid one to start and I wasn't sure if I was going to get rained on or just spend my day in a cloud. It turned out that neither happened. The trails were quite wet from last night's rain so all the rocks were wet and there was more mud than usual. Footing was still pretty good and the water crossings were easy. I cleared all the spider webs along the way and didn't see anyone until I was on my way back from Willey and headed back up Field. I was in a cloud for Tom and Field but lucked out and got some in and out views off the viewpoint down from Willey's summit. As I returned, the skies were clearing so all those coming after me should have had some really nice views today. The trail was beginning to dry out upon my return as well. The icing on the cake was finding trail magic left for me in my car today! I suspect I know who left it and it totally made my day! <3 |
