I was in the neighborhood and had a couple hours to kill so I couldn't resist. Started from the VC and hit North Mtn first this time. The dark skies and cool temps made for a very enjoyable trip up the hills. Not nearly as many people out on these trails as I was anticipating. Saw an occasional lighting bolt and light rain started as I reached the top of Shaw Butte. It stayed windy and wet for the rest of the trip, but I'll take that over the heat.
