A view of clouds
The overcast sky, with possible rain, probably kept the number of people at our meeting place to 7. So not long after nine, I decided there was no point waiting for other people. As predicted, there was fog on Afton Mountain, which slowed us a little, but then we saw a notice of an accident ahead, I diverted through Fishersville, unnecessarily it turned out.
Michael Seth met us at the trailhead, which is high enough to be foggy. We set off, hoping for clearing. Despite the cool conditions, most people removed some clothing to avoid sweating on the climb. At 1 pm we reached the top and had an excellent view of fog. It seemed to get thinner, but did not clear, even with a cool breeze. One hiker was quite impressed with the new (to us) chocolate and orange cake, and hot chocolate. The downhill return was as foggy as the morning to finish a day everyone enjoyed.
