Comments
Comments: Trails were fairly dry this afternoon after occasional showers this morning.

First time to the Oak Ridge vista; I think I prefer it to Bald Knob, as the juxtaposed castle view is quite unique.

Shannon Pond is being drained and there are signs warning about potential trail closures; did not note any new closures other than the previously washed out section.

Cloudy afternoon with some humidity, but much nicer than forecast.
