After all the rain out this way yesterday I sure as heck did not want to be riding on wet/muddy trails and I don't care to make trails worse by creating more ruts, hiking it would be.

The temperature was only 36° at 7 am, but with "abundant sunshine" and 40° when I left home I made sure to dress in easily-shed layers of clothing. And sure enough, it was only a mile before I shed the first layer, and within the next mile I shed the next. But when puffy clouds moved in intermittently hiding the sun, that was it. As a breeze picked up I was close to adding a layer back on. Although the temp would rise past 50° for a bit, it was back down to 41° when I finished.

While I did cross a few trails, at no time did I follow any. And as usual, I like meandering because I'm more likely to encounter things out-of-the-ordinary.

Today the most interesting item was a live-game trap. While the trap may have been out here for some time, based on foot prints and packed dirt around it I believe someone was here either today or after the rain yesterday. I have no idea what animal they are interested in catching, but the bait appeared to be nothing more than a knotted piece of nylon rope. Whatever, I'll add to my list of things to keep track of over time.
