| partners | | Wally and I started from the Tiger Mine TH at about 7am to a steady rain. The rain started on our way down 79 and seemed to pick up the closer we got to the TH. Wally decided to leave his glasses in the car because they fog up in rain and I decided to leave my sun screen gloves because we didn't think we would much sun or clear skies the whole day. 20 minutes after we started, the rain stopped. Two hours later, the sun was peeking thru the clouds and 4 hours later it was steady sunlight.
We hiked out a little past Hidden Well and took a lunch break at 11am. The last mile or so on the way out it really started to heat up a bit with the steady sun and uphill grades. After lunch on the way back, the clouds rolled in a little more giving some intermittent moments of shade. There was a very noticeable difference in temperature once the shade hit.
After the rain and clouds had rolled out for the day, the views really opened up. Looking off to the east at the Galiuros was really nice scenery. Wally missed all of that because he didn't have his glasses. Only saw 1 biker the entire day, no hikers. Everyone must have taken the holiday weekend off for thru hiking. No fauna other than the cattle everywhere. Wally spotted a rabbit running away early on and thought it might be a deer as all he could make out was the white dot. |
