Temperatures ranged drastically throughout the week, from sunny and summery to gloomy and grimy to horrifically humid, i observed these atypical conditions with a watchful eye. When mercury levels stooped to reasonable values for outdoor activity, I set out for my ̶t̶h̶i̶r̶d̶ ̶ fourth conservation area visit of the season.
Another aspect warranting note was the presence of indoor plumbing. Gender-separated facilities could be found at the south end of the parking lot in a fully furnished structure. Four stalls and three sinks with automatic sensors were found within. At the early hour, the stalls were still relatively pristine, though I'd imagine the cleanliness to degrade with time due to usage. Emerging from the sinks were ice cold streams of water, consistent with the overall lack of heating within the stalls themselves. Nevertheless, indoor plumbing is exceptionally rare and a luxury in most hiking situations.
