ElCap Report 10/10/11
By Tom Evans
Yo.. We had a very nice day here in the Valley, right up until the rains came. My Astrologer, Erik Sloan, mentioned at breakfast this morning, that the charts and darts said it was going to rain later in the day. “Balderdash”, I said! The morning was cloudy, which any ElCap Photographer will tell you makes for great shots, because of the lack of shadows and calmer air. I got some nice shots this morning, but the clouds closed in and the rain fell a bit after noon. I packed up my kit and got the hell out of there, as my gear doesn’t like water. Now, closing in on 7pm the vertical visibility is about 300ft and the rain continues to fall.
