On the way in, I was greeted by these beauties:
I slowed down and waited for them to move out of the road, but the actually walked into the center of the road. These horses had a sense of humor! Eventually they cleared on out…
Anyhow, it was a beautiful morning again, and the going early plan works great for avoiding the crowds. Here's Mac at the parking lot at 7 am.
The light was lovely… but it was really cold out. I stayed in Mac and observed. Theo snored.
But things changed. I did some people watching and mountain watching and had my breakfast. At one point I turned around and the view had changed to this - the wind was blowing and it was frigid out there - upper forties!
Pretty wild. People kept coming though and headed out to hike the trails…It did lighten up a little later. I made some hot chili for lunch and did a couple sketches on watercolor paper, and plan to paint them when/if I get that perfect light.
I decided if Theo and I were going to do much hiking, we'd better pick up some bear spray. It cost $50! Its like a giant pepper spray…
But everyone says its a good precaution. This t-shirt I saw sums it up!
