The wind blew all night along with a light drizzle. When we stepped out of our tent the weather was down right nasty with fog, rain and chilly temperatures. But as thru hikers we had to keep going. It's not like we can call a rain delay!
We made it halfway up Baldplate Mountain before lunchtime. We ducked into a shelter for a quick meal and continued our hike. The climb up the mountain wasn't terrible, it was the climb down. Picture walking down steep slabs of rocks. Now add some rain and strong winds to that picture. It made for a slow climb down the mountain.
We are happy to be snug in our tent and sleeping bags right now. Hope this dreary weather clears up soon so we can enjoy the beautiful views that everyone talks about!
Jason on Baldplate. We love those rocks in the rain! sike.
