Today, in one word, was FANTASTIC. I set out to do two hikes today, but it didn't happen and I've never been more okay with it. I set out at the FWNC&R not knowing what to expect, and what I got was fantastic. Yesterday was a day of rain, into the night, and today was the recovery. The air was a bit heavy, in a good way, and the temps were below 50. The smells of this trail were loamy, earthy, and quintessential fall/winter. I was transported today, to somewhere else. Parts of this trail felt like Michigan or Oregon, while others were very much Texas. I was just so pleased. I encountered only 4 people on my out, and 9 on my way back. Today was cool, full of good smells, and scenic.
