I've been hiking Bandera Mt. around 7/4 for a few years. I never hiked to the end of the trail. Always up to the ridge where I could see Mason Lake. But not today. Foggy and chilly. Dew formed on my hair. Couldn't see half of the slope. The flowers are just coming, needs at least a week, maybe 2, of high heat. This spring has been colder than normal. As soon as we returned to Seattle, sunny & blue sky.
Starting tomorrow, we'll have a heat wave, surpassing 30°C on Thursday.
