Had a little wind this overcast morning, but none of the forecast rain showers. This suited dog and me just fine—despite the fact that temps in the 40s (F) made for some greasy trails. Still we managed all right. And despite the generally dearth of bird activity (thanks mostly to the nice, stout wind), we actually dug the hike.
