Skywatch: Mount Pleasant

Trip leader: Russ Ruffing	Date of trip: November 5, 2022
Location: Skywatch, Mount Pleasant	Number attending: 15
Details: Temps in upper 60s/low 70s. Sky was ideal for hawk watching – intermittent clouds with higher clouds that provided good sighting conditions – but the winds were not, as they were out of the south at 5-12 mph. Not the NE winds that we were hoping for this time of the year. Temps in upper 60s/low 70s.
