Description:

3.28.2021 at NOON update: Dont expect to see great moonrise. It will be cool, cloudy, windy and drizzly.
Up and down, with a great view from the top of Mt. Baldy.
March’s full Moon goes by the name Worm Moon, which was originally thought to refer to the earthworms that appear as the soil warms in spring. This invites birds to feed—a true sign of spring! An alternative explanation for this name comes from Captain Jonathan Carver, an 18th-century explorer, who wrote that this Moon name refers to a different sort of “worm”—beetle larvae—which begin to emerge from the thawing bark of trees and other winter hideouts at this time. Other names for the March Moon are: Eagle Moon, Goose Moon, Crow Comes Back Moon (Northern Ojibwe), Sugar Moon (Ojibwe), Wind Strong Moon (Pueblo), Sore Eyes Moon (Dakota, Lakota, Assiniboine), Lenten Moon (Christianity) or Paschal Full Moon if it is the first full Moon of spring (i.e., if it occurs after the spring equinox).

Trip Report

Steady light rain accompanied three of us to the top of very windy Mt. Baldy. The fog prevented us from seeing the moonrise, so we descended briskly.
