Hi everyone. I just checked the weather again and there's a chance of a brief shower during the day, so dress accordingly. Also, bring a lunch and we'll find a place to enjoy this on the trail. It will be summer-like and I know I'll want to spend as much time soaking it in as possible. See you tomorrow!
