Water on trail
Bring it on mother nature! Mount Rose flushed herself clean today! The creeks were swollen and larger than I have ever seen. The view? There was none! The summit was really windy. I saw a few tiny flecks of snow mixed in with the rain. Lower down on the trail I saw some hail. A few fall mushrooms are out, mostly the types that grow on trees. I picked one.

A loud bolt of thunder cracked and I screamed with glee, but it frightened my poor doggie.

I had a great hike, I only had to share the trail with my dog. I enjoyed watching the tourists in their RV's flee Staircase for the winter. Go home! Don't come back next year! Soon the gate will close and I'll only have to share Staircase with snowplows.
 
I took a lot of picture on the way down but most of my pictures are blurry from water on my lens.

Thanks to the Mount Rose Trail Crew. The trail is in superb condition as always. Stay off it, it is too tough for the average person to do as a day hike.

All the boring details and pictures are on my blog:
