Normally in May everything on this hike is in bloom and budding out.
Just standing, water condensed on the outside of rain gear (and clearly ground fog hung around until about 9:30). In the tent it was warm enough, and layered up, moving was fine. I suppose I should have taken more pictures but we didn't stop and drop packs as often as we planned, for obvious reasons
We stayed out about 40 hours of a planned 48 with just backpack stoves and no fire. Wood-burning furnace and a bunk in the "Lodge" (basically a barn) was awfully nice for a nap Sunday afternoon.
All that said - we don't get out enough any more and we enjoyed ourselves for a couple old sticks in the mud.
