Like a handful of other hopefuls, I hit the Presidential Range again last Tuesday after seeing that the forecast called for an "in and out of the clouds" kind of day. Or at least that was the forecast from the Rockpile.(Interestingly, the Eye On The Sky forecast called for the Presi Range to be IN the clouds for the day. Ahem. Cough.)
As it was, the mountains preferred to stay fog-bound for the entire day. This made for a rather eerie feel to the hike, nothing like the very social and sunny day just a week ago. The flat lighting made it impossible to see the shape of the fresh drifts crossing the Gulfside Trail, making for lots of unexpected trips and inappropriate language.
I went to the summit of Adams, propped up my snowshoes against a big rock, and took a 1 hour nap, waiting for it to clear. Although the sun was faintly visible at times, the cloud layer never broke up.
So all I "got" were a few silly videos. Still a fun day, and the run out the V-way was simply awesome!
