Calm Before the Storm

There is a calm before the storm on two fronts.

Firstly, there is a series of storm clouds associated with cooler air coming to rest on New England fro the next three or four days.

Secondly, there is a massive Earth Day cleanup at Nick's Woods coming for this Saturday morning with all of the gear, planning, delegation, and lead work you would associate with such an enterprise.

It is the later which delayed today's post.

Presently it is 8:15pm.
The temperature is 52.7 degrees F and falling.
The humidity is 38% and steady.
The barometric pressure is 30.03" of mercury and steady (yet indicating rain.)
The USFS Fire Danger Class is MODERATE.

The brook is notably slowing and the falls have flow but no frothing white.

There will be improvements made to the parking areas here at the Lodge starting on Monday as well.

Some 16 yards of 3/4" stone are ordered from Worcester Sand & Gravel for an early Monday morning arrival. This is all going to get raked out by hand so there will be some interruption in the parking and access at the Olean Street trail head for a day or two. We are hoping to get the lower lot raked out first so as to have as little a disruption as possible. No worries for this weekend however.
