 Nature is a part of our humanity, and without some awareness and experience of that divine mystery man ceases to be man. Henry Beston Morning y'all, It's a beautiful, warm morning up top. The high yesterday reached 39 degrees. The overnight low was 27 degrees. It was 34 degrees and clear at 7am observation. The mountain received no new precipitation yesterday. I would bet that there are still some patches of ice along the trail, but nothing that would require traction just yet. I am stuck up here with a sore throat and a cold, so get out and enjoy the trails for me!

Good picture---but I can't make out what it is. Probably will be very simple after someone describes what is in the picture. Thanks.

We live in the salamander capital of the world and I have my doubts. That's quite a loooong tail on that salamander.

I believe that the salamander is a Two Lined ( 3") or a Long Tailed (5"). Both are similar in color and native to the area.
