Conditions look good for a "moonlight traverse" of the Presidentials section of the AT this weekend.
Clear weather - maybe some localized fog to spoil the party - temps in the 40s - but moonrise is at 6:57 PM on Saturday, moonset at 4:20 AM Sunday morning. The moon will be 98% illuminated, rising to 40 degrees above the local horizon at meridian transit. The moon will rise on an azimuth of 110 degrees and set at 246 degrees.
Tempting...
