Variations of weather forecasts were available for our location so we were not truly sure what we would be in for but went prepared for anything and everything. What we got was not what any one of us expected. What a pleasant exciting surprise we received as we neared Guinn’s Pass. After a couple of hours in dense fog, we came up and out through it. The fog rolled around leaving windows where the peaks peeked through. It was incredible. There were loads of ooooh’s and aaaaah’s, which was how we expressed our joy at the views. We hiked all the way up to the Mount Kidd Outlier and made that our high point and lunch spot for the day. We spent about forty-five minutes enjoying our surroundings. It was just a bit chilly with only a very slight breeze, which made for a pleasant visit. On the way down we hiked back into the fog. It was eerie yet pretty at the same time. On the way down, we passed a team from Search & Rescue who were out training and practicing. Thank you Darlene for helping me with the driving. Thank you to everyone for joining me on this event. It was a pleasure to share the day with you. See you again on the trails. Andra
