Hello Hikers!
Wed Nov 15
Chestnut Lean-to and lower north leg of the Abbott Loop, Danby SF
It was extremely slippery — the trail was covered with fallen leaves on top of damp ground — I skidded and slid pretty alarmingly at least a half dozen times and fell down once when my feet slipped out from under on a downhill and I plopped onto my ass. Other than that, it was a lovely hike.

Monkey Run Natural Area, south side — Varna
I’ve come to really enjoy hikes like this one, where there’s a big storm coming right at us but somehow it doesn’t hit us — seems like the atmospherics always end up being great — fresh smell, beautiful breeze, great light
