The rain held off until noon. It then proceeded to rain on and off for about five hours. Chris and I decided we needed a walk away from camp, so we went exploring. I love to see the huge ferns on the mountain. All of this rain has made for a lush forest floor. The temperature topped out at 65 for the day. The low was 56. They are calling for more showers today.
Last week I posted advice about rain gear. I meant anything from a cheap poncho to full on rain gear. If you don't have a good jacket, a poncho will do. I see a lot of day hikers making it to the top and they are completely drenched with no dry clothes to put on. The temperatures on the mountain are much cooler, especially when you are soaking wet. Ponchos do not weigh much. Most of the time they can fit in your pocket. It is always good to be prepared when out in these mountains. You never know what kind of weather you are going to experience.
