Still not hiking much due to the daily forecast of rain and thunderstorms. I ignored the forecast and went hiking anyways (no rain, no thunderstorms). We stayed local though. The NPS was at the trailhead with their bear education booth. We stopped by and asked them questions about how to know when to use bear spray. It was really interesting to talk to them - so much to learn. They also had a bear skin on their table - so of course I had to pet it. It was softer than I was expecting. No bears on the trail today, but I did see one in the street in front of my house when I went out to pick cucumbers from my garden. We found a couple new down trees to report.
