Been looking forward to going for a hike all week

[tmleadr03]

Just checked the weather forecast for the area I plan to hit up. High of 55 and 60% chance of thunderstorms.




Am I bit nuts for still going?

No, just make sure your not "exposed".
You might rust.

Good point. Lol.

Be prepared with proper rain gear and you're good to go. Some of the best fishing is when it's raining...I fear not the rain. But of course I have the proper gear for it.

Dont have rain pants. But good jacket at least.

Meh, I almost never bust out the pants and I've rode out many downpours. Get the $10 poncho/pants rig from Walmart or wherever "just in case" it gets so bad you need pants. Then you'll be covered. I've had the same emergency poncho/pants rig in my pack for a few years and never had to use it yet. My standard rain jacket is usually enough. But...it feels good to know that I have the extra layer if needed.

Stepping out between 6 and 7 tomorrow to get the trailhead at Moffat Tunnel (https://plus.google.com/108800611815...=s&hl=en&gl=us). Should be about 1.5 hour drive for me. Then going to try for Heart Lake about 4.5 miles West by S. West. http://www.protrails.com/trail/india...and-heart-lake

Which means it is time to rack out. Got some walking to do tomorrow.

You were in my back yard! I know the area very well. Did you throw a line in at Hart Lake? I plan of fishing there as soon as the hoof heals up.

Nope, when I got to Heart Lake the clouds were rolling in over the Continental Divide and it was starting to rain. It then rained most of the way down.

Not to mention I don't really fish.
