Hikers for Seek the Peak have had luck on their side this morning, as the weather forecast has held! Clouds moved in above the peak early this morning, and then moved in below the peak, but as of 11:30 we’ve remained out of the fog at the summit.
So far a number of hikers, members and friends of the Observatory have stopped by, and we’ve been very busy giving tours of the weather room. Nin is lounging downstairs enduring constant pampering, and our volunteer cooks are feverishly baking cookies for everyone dropping by.
We’ll try to post pics throughout the day of the festivities…and don’t forget about tonight’s bbq at Wildcat kicking off at 4PM!
