Had a great time at the Raven Cliffs Halloween Overnighter. Squdbilly brought us some great BarBQ for Friday nights dinner and everyone sat around the fire and enjoyed themselves. A little before 9:00 the rains started and sent everyone back to their hammocks. The wind picked up and the temps dropped and sometime after midnight our rain turned to sleet and then to snow. I woke up about 3:00 to snow blowing into the tarp ends due to shifting winds. Lowered the head end and put on the Grizzbeak and it was back to sleep snow free. We had a camp visitor in the form of a stray hunting hound. He kept Buddy, BeBop and Jethro company and was quiet and polite but a little shy. The coyotes howled through the night and every now and then you'd hear him bark in the distance. About 5:30 he decided it was time for us to get up so he barked and howled for a good thirty minuets. After breakfast folks started packing up and by afternoon it was sleeting and snow flurries were blowing in the wind.
Great views and deceptive skies
Granny Spider! For someone who hates spiders she was really overcoming her fears.
Warm and toasty by the fire
Remnants of Friday nights snow.
