It was the warmest night so far, so a good night not to have set the tarp. The day began overcast with tantalizing glimpses of the sun that lit up the woods. I wasted a huge number of electrons trying and failing to capture the wonderful light.
My plan was to get underway about eleven so that I ought to get to the trailhead well before midday, which gave me plenty of time for the hour-and-a-quarter drive home. I should arrive long before Ginger needs the car at about one-forty.
