Something In The Air

Fog, that's what in the air. Lots of it!

Out for a Fall hike, and the weather turned out to be kinda iffy. It was very foggy with low clouds, threatening rain later in the day. Temps were in the 50s, a little breeze. So it was chilly. Instead of wearing light clothes and trying to stay cool, I was wearing layers and trying to stay warm!

The fog made for some interesting conditions to be sure. The fall colors were decent but very scattered. Some spots were still very green, some were about at peak color, a few areas looked past peak and leaves were down. Inconsistency! But the combo of the fog and the fall colors still looked pretty nice.

The day started off pretty foggy, then it tried to clear for a while. Mid afternoon the fog and clouds came rolling back in DARK. YOu could see it coming. It's 'The Mist!' I could tell it was about to rain, and it started sprinkling about 15 minutes before I got to the car. Good thing I was wearing my rain jacket. Within minutes of getting to the car it started raining pretty hard. And it hailed a little too. I timed that just right! Came home, took a hot shower!
