On October 1st, I did a little known hike called the Little Haystack / Lincoln / Lafayette loop.
It's a beautiful hike; it'll probably catch on. The forecast was sunny, cold, and windy. And
that turned out to be true, true, and true. But the forecast also called for humidity in the
low 50's. And that super low humidity resulted in amazingly long, clear, crisp views. Without
a doubt the cleanest views I've ever seen from that ridge.

Winter coats and hats and goggles were not an uncommon sight on this day
