Last night when walking back from the mailbox the wind was blowing hard and I heard a cracking sound. Turned around to see my 75 foot Oak Tree fall to the ground across the road and 15 feet into my neighbors yard! One of the limbs landed just a few feet from the mailbox. With all the rain we gotten recently the ground was just too saturated, and the strong winds were just too much.
Called the police since neighbors in the cul de sac were blocked in. They came and called the city crew to come cut all the limbs off. Took them a little longer to get here than expected because the head of the crew did not have his phone with him as he was chasing some loose cows.
A little after midnight they cut and trucked off at least 60 feet of limbs leaving us with the trunk.

When I first started hiking the AT nearly 7 years ago my biggest fear was bears and snakes. After a little experience it switched to ticks (Lyme disease) and a tree following on me.
My wife has reminded me we have plenty of deer running through our yard all the time. And now I almost had a tree fall on me. So I guess the AT is no more dangerous than my yard.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Went out mid-morning for a local trail hike between showers. Lots of wildlife spotted including some snake porn. Have yet to identify the pair and unfortunately was not carrying the camera.
Rain showers throughout the day and forecasted into the evening hours.

Currently 70 degrees with a real feel of 78.
High today is forecast to be 80.
The high for Saturday is forecast to be 55 with rain down here and snow at elevation.
We've had a lot of flooding in Central and Southern Idaho the last week or so due to higher than average rain during April and the warmer temps causing snow melt, after a higher than average snowfall during the Winter. Fortunately, the flooding hasn't been anywhere near as bad in regard to impacting the daily lives of people or doing property damage as it has in other parts of the country. The biggest impact locally has been delayed crop planting. A lot of farmers don't have their potatoes out yet because their fields are still flooded.“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” - T. S. Eliot -
The wetlands along the Glacial Drumlin Trail are wetter than usual, but I have not seen flooding.

Nearly perfect weather the past few days, other than 25kt winds on Friday. Luckily for me the wind created an appreciated tailwind on the bike ride.

The Mount Washington Observatory recorded a total of 33.3" of new snow for the recent storm, breaking their previous May record.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
