I decided to head up to Mount Ord today and it turned out to be a good day to hike up there.

It was cloudy for the entire hike, and it was nice not to have to hike in the sun for a change.

I didn't see anyone out there all day -- no other hiker, no bicycle riders, no service workers at the tower, and nobody driving on the road.

I did see a bear on the way up, which is the first one that I have seen on Ord. It was walking across FR 626 as I was hiking up. It was a small bear and it did not tarry.

On the way down I saw a couple of deer crossing FR 626, about a mile below where I saw the bear.
