Cape Horn, Nov 26th

This hike is kind of becoming our pre-winter classic with Mark and Carole. If my memory serves me right, we have done this loop more than a couple of times, and it’s always fun to reconnect with friends and plan stuff as we enjoy the views of the Gorge. Not surprising the weather was gorgeous although a bit windy up on the ridge. We found a section or two that were closed to prevent erosion – and accidents, but other than that, another beautiful hike in the Gorge.
Oh, and we found something I’m not sure I’ve seen before. WE noticed some sticks on the grounds had what looked like white feathers. Looking closer we figure it was ice. It had been dry for the last couple of weeks so we couldn’t figure out why these limbs were iced over so we thought that the limbs are just catching the wind and somehow filtering moisture out of the air that freezes due to the air temperature… but what do we know, we’re not meteorologist
