One more hike

So my trip to Pedro Bay didn't go as planned. That is to say, it never got off the ground. I did however manage to do some work in the classroom, go fishing, change a tire on a bike (using a Swiss Army Knife) and go hiking. The colors from Friday to Sunday have changed already - the locals have been saying for some time that this is going to be "a long and dreary winter". I'm hoping that they're pulling my leg another two inches. The trails never had people in mind when they were made. You can almost hear them saying "Switchbacks? Why use those!"
