A little snow last night, but slip and slide as we did, neither Jack nor I fell down on the ice. Crazy thing is I found a banana peel somebody left on the trail at the summit—as if it’s not slippery enough already.
Scenic and lovely up there, but no photogenic birds. But I found a couple in town a bit later in the day.
