Gas $1.83
Needed to get out. Trying to stay off the creeks and out of the parks on the weekends as crowds are a concern.
Listened to Neptune's Inferno; The U. S. Navy at Guadalcanal by James D. Hornfischer on the drive up and back.
The temperature continued to drop as I approached my destination. Only a jeep was parked there and I geared up putting on some layers and waders and even looked for a pair of gloves which were not to be found. The 3 wt was still rigged with a dry dropper and off I went. Hiked in for about a mile just after passing the three occupants of the jeep who were tossing rocks into the creek.
I jumped into my now regular starting spot. The water was a tad lower than last time, I guess the 2" that Philpott received missed this area.
