This and the next 3: favorite sandy spot |
Because of an early morning doctor's appointment I wasn't able to get on the trail until after 11; just as I started off I ran into my pal Jimmy who was just finishing up. We talked for a short while. I started my trek at 11:15 and ended just before noon.
Even though the sun shone brightly I wore my Marmot PreCip jacket because of a stiff breeze. About midway through I had to zip down the armpit zippers to stay cool. Worked perfectly.
There were other hikers on and about the mountain, but I ran into only one guy when I was almost done. He was wearing shorts and a short-sleeve shirt. It had warmed up that much in a short period of time. On our way to 60F today.
