Early morning hike

This morning Kathy & I braved the rain and hiked up the butte. We were hoping to watch the sunrise. After huffing & puffing our way up, we decided we weren't going to see the sun through the clouds & light (?) rain. The view was pretty. The valley looked like a mist of fog was covering it. We met 3 college kids coming down on our way up. They were even earlier than us. I wore a rain jacket (thanks, Katy!), but still was pretty wet. The way down was SO much easier! The breeze actually felt good. We met a group of people on their way up. They were wearing shorts & jackets. I bet they were cold by the time they got to the top. I wanted to get a picture, but my hands were wet & I wasn't sure I would get a good shot. Kathy, unfortunately, got a picture of me. So there is my adventure for the day.
