A wet one, to be sure, so much of the day plan was tossed. We lucked out on timing the weather, though, so it wasn’t a complete washout.

The weather was crap the whole day with only brief gaps. Fun to watch, lousy to photograph in. I did, however, commemorate the Sasquatch’s first foray into the wild:
