Good Morning,

It’s currently 46 degrees and socked in on Mount Le Conte. The winds have died down; it’s still spitting rain intermittently. Expect and plan for wet conditions if you're coming up the mountain.

We received .87” inches of precipitation.

A damp heavy fog continued to blanket the mountain. A light rain mixed with the already wet air. Walking around camp, I debated laying down in a puddle just so I could experience all three types of wet.

Wet as it was Mt. LeConte, the island in the sky, was as beautiful as ever. Hazy white heavens blended well with the saturated features below. I wandered around until I had experienced enough wet for the time being…

Finding shelter from the elements, I burrowed into a book.

Onward,
Seth
