 | Comments: |
Almost avoided the rain today, it was cool watching the scattered storms from up on the Twins and hearing thunder. Didn’t see any lightning. It poured on me on Galehead just for 10 minutes. I saw plenty of other folks out today, and I was glad I brought my saw and got to clear quite a few trees from the paths, so it’s all good to go now. The hardwoods are really leafing out down low, and up high the snow is gone, just one 20’ patch left. |
