I got up early and decided to hike Mount Ord once again.

The washed out place on the road wasn't any worse than last time. I looked around a bit to see if there was an easy way around the washout, but there wasn't.

Temperatures were pleasant until the last 2-3 miles.

I saw a nice sized doe on the way back, about 1.5 miles from the trailhead. That is the first wildlife that I have seen in the area that was burned by the Bush fire in 2020. That suggests that food and cover are coming back for wildlife.
