A wet day, despite a rainless forecast. But, hey, we drove over an hour and were hoping the weather would improve so it was worth taking a chance. The trail is actually in fairly good condition, even in the rain. Spoonauger Falls is really nice and worth the 0.1 mile off trail excursion. Not a lot of wildflowers. We'll revisit this hike later this year.
