OTHER COMMENTS (problems, views, terrain, etc.)
Many people didn’t show up for this hike; the weather forecast was less than promising and fog made the drive less than relaxing.   That who did come had a great hike with no rain until it started to sprinkle lightly just at 8:00 pm as we were getting back toward the cars. Although we didn’t see the moon, we did have a great time.

Looking forward to next month's Full Moon hike, maybe with some snow on the ground and the moon in the sky.
