The route sheet, which I kept in my jacket pocket, had no dry spots left by Rock Store and started disintegrating by Stunt. My sunglasses kept getting fogged up and I had to wipe them with the shorts because there were no dry spots on the jersey or the jacket. On Cotharin/Deer Creek we had something like 200 to 500 foot visibility fog all the way to the PCH (made Deer Creek descent, ahem, "interesting".) I only got somewhat back to normal at the checkpoint on Decker where they had rolls of paper towels.
