It was overcast most of the day and it even rained briefly, but just sprinkles mostly. The sun did come out for about 2 hours! That was pleasant. But the temperature was grand - not too cold, not too hot - just right. No Honkers were found on this trip, but a few Squeakers were found. But mostly a great time was had by all! Several who came say that they will return before the season is over and of course, they'll return again next year too for the 3rd Annual Sheffield Mine Field Trip. |
