| no partners | | Wanted to try and get a hike in today, but the weather was not cooperating early this morning. Slept in a bit and decided to try my luck and headed up the ultra smooth road to the Roger's Trough TH. Cloudy and 52 degrees with no rain when I started up the road. Conditions worsened the higher up I drove and by the time I got to the TH, it was extremely foggy, temp was 43 degrees, winds were blowing 25-30 mph with rain mixed with graupel. Four vehicles at the TH, unfortunately 2 of them were SAR. I wanted to bag Iron Mountain, but with the weather I could not even see it from the TH so I decided to hike a section of the AZT that I had not done yet. The rain had stopped so I started out. Not even 5 minutes later it started again along with the wind which made it brutal. After a mile of being soaked and not being able to feel my hands, I was completely miserable so I turned around and headed back to my rig. As I was driving back down, about a half dozen SAR vehicles were heading up to the TH, hopefully everyone is okay up there. One of them, a Tundra I think, had a HAZ sticker  .Not what I envisioned for my hike today, but at least I got to get out there for a little bit. |
