Good morning on this Good Friday, long considered one of the most holy of Christian holidays. It is 49 degrees and cloudy. At least one more line of showers I’d coming, that will briefly bring heavy rain We will continue to have showers through the morning.

62 degrees and some clearing in late evening, then temperatures will drop with a stiff frigid breeze with near seasonable temperatures in late March, low of 32 in the city. The wind at around 10 mph will make it feel cooler.

I am shortly going to start packing my pack. As I’m hauling everything back in the woods, things have to be fairly well organized to minimize the number of trips but provide the gear I need. I need sufficient gear to stay warm tonight, as it’s expected to be cold tonight.

Today in 1911 was the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in NYC which killed 145 workers when a dust rich environment combined with blocked exits made it impossible for workers to escape the inferno that ripped through the building. More recently in 1967, Martin Luther King leads a march to protest the Vietnam War.

Sunset tonight is at 7:14 pm and darkness is at 7:49 pm. So I better get going as its after 9 AM and I’m burning daylight. Once the front passes by and the rain is gone, it should be a nice weekend, even if this evening is expected to be quite chilly.

Enjoy your Good Friday!
