Hammond Hill SF, ski trails
For the second Saturday in a row, it began to rain shortly before hike time when it wasn’t supposed to — we drove out to the trail head through a brisk sprinkle
We’ve learned not to expect much of a turnout on a rainy morning — but there’s a small but very faithful group that actually likes to walk in the rain
It wasn’t raining as hard as it did last Saturday and the trees provided some shelter, so it was actually quite pleasant
The scenery in the dim lighting looked exceptionally nice
After a while the rain stopped and a lovely pale light emerged
The week before we cancelled our visit to Hopshire because we were all soaked — this time we stayed dry
Great fun at the brewery, laughing infectiously and wolfing salted snacks
Official head count: NineH, two D
