Top of ridge fogged in most of morning. Mostly cloudy throughout most of
the day with passing front. Late afternoon still partly to mostly cloudy
with breaks in the clouds revealing blue sky; light wind helping to keep
clouds and fog at bay over top of ridge. On return trip home later that
evening, it was mostly clear with stars and Mars brightly shining.

Predictions:
Gorgeous. End of the week uncertain as Hurricane Isabel churns her way
across the Atlantic toward the mid-Atlantic states.
