Well, it drizzled anyway. Although it the rainy season did begin here about a week ago, today was the first time this season when I hiked in the rain. I did the mid-length version of my Almaden Quicksilver County Park hike and picked up some rain on the ridge and on my descent to the parking lot. I also noticed that, true to California form, one week after the first rain the new winter greenery is already starting to sprout. Soon the hills will be emerald green instead of their current dusty brown.
