The roomie and I headed back to Mueller State Park with two other friends in tow, one excited and one reluctant, a week after our first visit. The yellowed leaves, just in one week, were significantly more in both number and beauty.
On the way up, the skys forebode of bad weather, but looked like it might pass without doing much damage or getting too cold...
Don't let the sunshine fool ya... it was cooollld! Next time I'll remember my limitations on predicting both the weather and the comfort of the outdoors. It took about a half hour, some damp firewood, and finally some cooking gas for the more skilled firestarters of the small group to light the fire and get us some heat. I stood around and watched most of the time and occasionally stuck my head into what was like a circle of whispering schoolgirls, as they tried to shield the wind and rain, to tell them they were doing an excellent job, and ask if they thought it might be much longer before "we" got the fire going.
Take the good with the bad; the silver lining is a rainbow!
