Silver Falls State Park 24 Oct 2014

Daylight and rain-free hiking were at a premium this week.  So, today's hike was a quick trip to Silver Falls to race around the loop (8 mi in 3.5 hr with lots of picture taking) before it started raining.  NOAA said 11a, and at about that time I started feeling the occasional droplet.  But it didn't really get going until I was safely back in the car.  Photos are dark, sun was blocked by thick cloud cover - but it was still a very pretty day.  The falls were very full due to recent rains.
