Trip Report

We were ready for rain, However, it only sprinkled occasionally and it was somewhat windy at times. The friendly Pisgah coyote was present, just a few feet from the trail as we walked by. He was a bit wet also, but he was taking it all in stride as he went by us in the other direction.
