Today at Nisqually was drizzle and drippy early on, down right rainy later on. Four of us braved the weather and were well rewarded. We mask up, even being outside, and try to maintain "social distancing." For some, this is our greatest relief from the pressures of the current pandemic. What follows is our finds today.
