 | Comments: |
Started off around 10am and it was pretty wet in some spots on Old Bridle Path. Greenleaf trail between the hit & Lafayette summit was dry. Foggy & misting near the top then like magic, all of the cloud cover blew out and I had a clear afternoon. Old Bridle Path from the agonies all the way to the car dies out thankfully. |
