2021 venture vermont: Go on a rainy-day hike

 barb and i were camping last weekend at mount ascutney state park and it rained our first night and continued to rain well into the next day, so we figured that was a PERFECT way to pick up this item.


since we had gone up to the observation tower the previous night at sunset, we figured to go over to the west peak via the hang gliding tail and look at that.


for some reason it decided not to be raining when we started out, and we were still going to count it because it HAD been raining and was likely to be raining again, but no worries. by the time we got over to the hang glider platform it was flat out raining.


the view was somewhat spectacular in that it was simply a blank white.often when it's rainy or cloudy you can see terrain or forest or something beneath you, but no. the mountain drops off so completely there that there was just simply nothingness in front of us.


not the view we would have had on a sunny day, but still a rather spectacular view.
