Rain delay

Thursday, 23rd July 2015; 8:44 am

I got a little rain this morning. I saw it coming, so it wasn’t any kind of serious problem. I checked radar and saw that it would blow over fairly quickly, but I still wanted to stay dry in the meantime. 

Paradoxically, my first priority was to pack my shelter. Because I didn’t want to have to pack a wet tent. Better to get it stowed, under its own rain cover. I have a rain suit to keep me dry. 

I got underway at about 8am, and the rain came through while I was still within the park. I was at a scenic overlook and could watch it approach. I made sure the gear in the scooter was protected, and hung out under a leafy tree which keep me dry for a short shower.
