Late Spring Perfection for National Trails Day

The previous day's rains have passed.
The sun is out.
There is a breeze.

Out in the sun it is quite hot.
Here under the canopy it is cooler, darker, and humid (and not at all in a bad way.)

Yesterday we received 0.47" of rain,
and when you combine that with the rain earlier in the week you get about 0.63 inches.
This rain has recharged the wetlands up at the top of the Cascades and there is flow over the top.

At this point, any additional rains would channel right straight for the Cascades and come down.
A good deluge in a thunderstorm, of which there is a chance this evening, would get us cooking!

Presently, at 3 pm, it is 84.6 degrees and steady.
69% humidity under the trees and there's an air quality alert on for this afternoon through tomorrow.


THANKS to all who came out to Nick's Wood this morning for National Trails Day! We got most of the other car out, trails cleared, trails blazed, a rock bridge across the stream mostly built...well done, folks!
