Rained briefly last night, then cleared, brilliant stars after moon set.. Cold and windy this morning, only put shorts on mid afternoon. Cooling off fast tonight. We did over 21 miles, will probably regret it tomorrow.
Highlight of day was finding a chestnut tree, with some nuts still on it way up high. Sadly the blight will probably get it. Back before the 1930's the majority of trees in Appalachia were chestnuts, prized for the cash crop of nuts as well as rot resistant wood.
