It was very windy in the night, the trees flexing had the hammock bouncing around a bit. The temperature dropped to 24 degrees, I wasn't toasty, but I was warm enough. Two-minute read, +1

A deer… Despite being 1-200 yards upwind from me they heard me creeping down to a spot where I could grab a picture through the trees. It was nearly dark, and I had to use the max zoom on my phone, hence the very poor image.

Table Rock Lake is low. Almost the lowest I've seen it so far. On the good side, the change in lake level has caused all the silt to be washed out of the creek mouth. Video: 24-seconds.

High winds, dry conditions, and unseasonable temperatures have resulted in a 'No fires' advisory today. And given how windy and dry it is, that makes sense.
