Mostly sunny from 9:45 to 4:45 with a two-hour leisurely drive around the loop mixed-in the day. Most spots with fall flowers are fading fast but there are some active spots at the very south bend in the loop, however the Liatris is mixed with very tall grass in most of those spots. A few patches are open. One Meske’s female today was very dark brown, an unusual color for that species. A good time was had by all.
