VAbow opener?Man, I got absolutely, totally
soaked!!!

I ended up calling it a day and packed up and went home close to lunchtime.
I drove out to the GWNF and spent the night (friday) so I could get an early jump on opening day, but, geez.... rain, rain, rain, wicked pouring rain, 30 mph wind gusts, man what a morning that was!!!
But at least I saw two does 50-60 yards away, and then they took off up the ridge. So, I hiked in a ways and settled back in, in hopes they'd circle back around, but I never saw them again.
