Friday, September 28, 2018 When I woke it was raining and 39'. Since I had decided on two nights on Cherry I decided to sleep a bit more, did some reading and just chilled in the tent until about 10am. After lunch and putzing around camp I decided to hike up the hill behind camp. While I was doing this it was starting to get brighter than usual and noticed some blue patches in the sky. When I got to the top of the hill and took a short video my camera battery died so went back down to grab another, then back up. By then it was partly cloudy. The hike up was pretty easy and open if you headed almost straight north from the toilet. The first 100-200 yards were thicker, but really opened up after that. At the very top was a heck of a view looking E/SE towards the burn area and someone had started a cairn, so I obligingly added a rock too. HUng out up there for an hour looking at the long view and combing the hill top. I saw fresh Moose scat and old bear scat also. The fall colors were at their peak here and now. As soon as I got back to camp it started sprinkling again and the next thing I know there is some snow mixed in. Over the next couple hours it snow 3 times, a couple of them were pretty heavy but didn't accumulate on the ground. I listened to the weather radio and they were forecasting a low of 22' and a hard frost throughout the area. It didn't get out of the 30's for highs today for the first time this trip, yet the hiking I did today along with the wool long johns and jacket, hat, gloves, kept me more than comfortable all day. It's the evenings when you stop moving and the temps drop that i really start to feel the cold set in. Sorry, I didn't get any photos of the snow coming down, I took video instead. I can't seem to be able to put video in this report.
