The guys pretty much covered the day's highlights already, but it was great to at least get a taste of fall. Even though the majority of the grove was still green, the splashes of yellow were there and probably will be in peak form in a week or two. Plenty of golden leaves in the Lockett Meadow campsite, though. Nice trail up to the Waterline Road, and that stretch to the meadow is always steeper than you think! Rincon started getting a little tired after we topped out on Weatherford, and after seeing him start to tire even more after the first push up the summit, I decided to pull the plug on his summit bid. We went back to the saddle, where he slept on my lap for about 2 hours while I waited for Kyle and Sam to return. After a little rest out of the breeze, we started back, and Lily helped him finish in style, though, so no dog-carrying required

Great day, great group, and a much nicer use of a Friday than the usual routine.

Autumn Foliage Observation Moderate
