 | Comments: |
Perfect hypothermia conditions today, low 40's, breezy, wet ground all around, rain falling. Staying moving was the name of the game. Most flat areas had standing water, ankle to calf deep, and most steeper areas were basically streams. No views in the rain and fog from the pond, or Webster Slide. Some late foliage hanging around, mostly beech, turning brown. Leaf cover is getting deep, though the rain will help compress it. Definitely a Type III fun kind of day with Ashley! |
