Trip Report

Eight of us hiked up Pisgah to see a great sunset. Dave Lodeesen found the Moon between clouds somewhere north of Hardesty in the southeastern sky. It was actually calm on top, and I wore no jacket the whole time we were out. Heidi Zola completed her third hike and will be submitting a completed application for membership. The trail was dry, and it was quiet on the summit as well. Nice night to be out, especially given what happened the previous night!
