Damp, Overcast, Yet Pleasant!

So, yesterday's rains have certainly soaked the world. Good luck finding a dry spot!
But it isn't raining presently, the air is pleasantly cool, the air is so still that Cook's Pond is a perfect mirror, and the greens are astounding.
Here and there you will find mushrooms that popped up, encouraged by the overcast rainy weather.
It is a nice morning to be outside!

This afternoon promises to be more exciting, with possible heavy rains and thunderstorms!
Plan your trips and your gear accordingly!

The National Weather Service Warning for today is kinda fun!

THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL.
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL MAY RESULT IN SOME NUISANCE POOR-DRAINAGE
STREET FLOODING.

THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY FOR A VERY LOCALIZED...MORE SIGNIFICANT
FLOOD EVENT...IF ANY THUNDERSTORMS CAN TRAIN OVER A SPECIFIC
LOCATION IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS OR NORTHERN CONNECTICUT.

Ted's AT Trek

Ted was finding it hard to pull together the urgency to pack up in the dry shelter and walk out into the wall of rain yesterday morning.
Theoretically he was about a day's walk from Connecticut and we will see how he made out!
