Monday, October 13, 2025. Up at 7:00. Cloudy, foggy, rain stopping around 10:00am, warming to mid 50s.

Rainy day at Skyland

Rained all night, but should clear this morning. Fingers crossed. Will have some showers on and off at camp tonight, but the next 2 days look very nice.

It’s almost 11:00am and the forecast and the actual weather don’t match at all. Still raining, foggy, windy, and not getting any better. Worse if anything. Ed and I had breakfast at the restaurant decided to take a Zero day. There are 3 side trips we want to do and we won’t be able to see anything in this fog today. Therefore we decided to take a Zero day. Bonus with that is we won’t have to deal with wet tents tomorrow morning!

Rain, wind, fog all day. Things got worse up here all day. Apparently things are decent down in the valley. 

We read and chilled all day.
