06:40 - Fog. Ridge not visible.
06:52 - Dog stops at the culvert. Listens.
07:04 - First light through the longleaf.
07:11 - Crow.
07:18 - Hip at 5/10. Acceptable for walking.
07:24 - Turned back at the oak with the lightning scar.
07:31 - Home. Coffee. Begin.

The ridge line was not visible this morning.
The ridge line was still there.
