June 1, 1983: A couple of days either way and I wouldn't have been there for that massive peak daffodil bloom.

I've had my share of bad weather luck on this hike — everyone does — but this hour made up for a lot. A dirt road to the summit culminated in a scenic little circle mostly surrounded by a decorative rustic log fence.

Flowering trees in and around the circle added bright white blossoms to the floral display. No one had attempted the drive this morning in the wind and rain.

I spent an hour up near the summit of Beauty Spot, which I had all to myself. Then it was time to move on.
