	Comments:	I had planned to take the day off since I was short on time but then I saw the weather looked interesting and opted for a super short hike instead. This was perfect! The trail was dry down low and the North Twin trail has a nice flat warm up for us old folks. The Fire Wardens trail was also dry down low but the misty conditions up high made everything wet. The trees were dripping as well but the temps were mild so it was lovely. The footing up high is so good that even with wet rocks and roots you can cruise both up and down. I saw just one person today as I was heading down and I was highly motivated to get back to my car for kettle cooked chips for the drive home.
