Rain Rain Go Away

Wildcat Mountain, Wisconsin

The law of averages finally caught up with us. Since April we have been touring and camping and never got wet from rain. Today our luck ran out.

They forecast storms last night but they never came. I got up at 0530 and everything was dry. I made morning coffee and headed for the car. In the car, I can listen to the NPR morning news, and to check the Internet. I was five minutes into that when a real cloudburst started.

After 90 minutes, I put on my rain jacket, grabbed an umbrella and walked down the steep hill to our site to check on Libby. Well, Libby was OK and dry inside the tent, but I slipped opinion the mud on the hill. Now I'm not only wet, but 50% covered in mud on my whole back side from heels to head.

Oh we'll, we have no right to complain. Rain is part of outdoor living.

  1. Be happy you aren't in Calgary Alberta.

    We have had a pretty nice spring here in Eastern NC. A Bermuda high system is due to settle in over the next several days so the party is over. We are off to the San Juan Mountains Saturday.
