Pollen has been crankin' as expected after such dry conditions the past few days...damn near desert-like conditions. Pretty unusual pattern, though I must say, it's been a very comfortable 80s with the low dews. We need the rain, though. Little Bennett was drier than usual yesterday, but I had to shrug a bit at the puddles in the places that I feel never dry out. There's always 1 or 2 of those on every trail around here.
