Drove the car half way and pulled the Mongoose off the davits and saddled up. The weather early on today was warm but rainy and the trail was completely deserted and made it into the office in 50 minutes instead of the usual hour. Trail was wet in a few places and nearly spun out on one section. The way back was glorious. The sun came out and the wind vered around and since everyone got scared off I had the trail to myself yet again. Saw three deer and lots of other critters.
