Started about 5:15 am yesterday, didn't need headlamps. It started to hail on us at Florian's point -- Engine Joe cried out "Oh Hail No!". Added a rain jacket (I was in shorts and t-shirt) and asked for help with locating my pit zips. Joan noted that our break was indeed "A Pit Stop."

After Flat Rock, it started snowing. Cameron (at Florian's point) and Joan (Grubbs Notch) took videos which are posted on my FB page:

Engine Joe hiked up to Grubbs in shorts and t-shirt -- he gets the polar bear award.
Really wonderful to have the juxtaposition of desert/alpine -- a true Cactus to Clouds.
Miles of smiles,
