The Day promised to be a great one. What a beautiful morning, eh!
Finished a "Fine" breakfast, but things are looking a bit dark up there.
And down came the rain. This shot was taken after the first 60 minutes. Although it looks pretty bad, we are not really wet yet.
A break in the clouds. Rain stopped! Let get going before the rain comes back.
It's back!
Rain from the Front . . .
Rain from the back . . .
Rain from the the side . . .
All from Above!!
Now we're wet!!! Not a dry stitch.
After 150 miles of rain, the Frogg Toggs couldn't handle it. We could feel cold water runing down our chests and back as the rain found pathways through the Toggs. Boots full of water. We made "wet tracks" throughout the motel restaurant while eating and waiting 2 1/2 hours, hoping the rain would stop.
and finally it did.
No dry clothes for Mc. All my grocery bags were not sealed well enough. No dry anything.
Mick was luckier, had better bags.
Looks pretty touch & go, but no rain!
One hour later . . . . Is that SUNSHINE!!!!
Maybe I can get dried out? Off with the Toggs!!
What a glorious day after all!!!!!
Not so Fast!!!! Road side Togg doning, one more time.
I would rather break at the side of the road then in the rain. Check out the horizon.
What did I tell ya!
This was a 30 second "squall"! Hardess rain all day. By the time the wind had blown the rain off the windshield, so we could see again, the sun was shining bright
It was mother nature's parting shot.
Mick had a hunch there would be a rainbow behind us. He held the camera over his shoulder and caught it.
That deserves a pot of gold!
I'd settle for a dry pair of underwear.
Finally arrive at the motel. What? No reservation?
