That is all.

Lots of hiking. Lots of rain. No glassing(fog). No deer seen(Fog).
Made for some good gear testing.
That's about all I got.

Looks very scenic up there, any deer sign to keep you up there?

I'm hoping so.

At least you were able to get out there  :tup:  and like you said, a great way to test your gear.

Did you run into anyone else up there? If not, I would think that is a successful weekend in it's own rights.  :chuckle:

I guess I'd call it a good time. Could've been a lot worse.

Tough conditions. I hope you are staying up there all week, when it clears I am sure it will be epic.

Good luck.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

It was really foggy along the coast until about an hour ago.  Now heavy clouds with a cool wind.   :)

Just curious,  are you in a honey hole of sorts and if so, please PM me your GPS coordinates. Just so I know, promise I won't hunt it
