 | Comments: |
Little to no rain today, so trails were fairly dry except for the residual mud from the recent wet weather; muddiest on the ridge. Did my best not to contribute to the trail creep (from folks walking around mud and, in season, snow/ice) that is destroying the trail.
Tree leaves mostly green, but hobblebush is beet red.
Initially some wind this afternoon, but nothing too bad; felt more like normal November winds rather than a hurricane. Occasional views of sunshine. Temperatures in the 60s down low, but a little chillier up high. Presis in the clouds, but lower peaks visible. |
