Today would not be a good day to be out camping 🌧

It’s not to say that I couldn’t have set up in the rain, and probably by tomorrow it wouldn’t be so wet, but today so far has been a good soaker. Totally wouldn’t have expected it from the forecast as recent as Wednesday when I originally took off the day, but things changed yesterday and so did my plans for the weekend.

It’s not like I haven’t camped plenty in the rain, including on cold and wet autumn days. Indeed, I may get that chance to camp at least a bit in the rain in two weeks when I go down to West Virginia. Good warm meals cooked on the camp stove, huddled under the tarp by the heater and fire helps. But it doesn’t mean it’s something I warmly embrace, or seek out. I am glad I saved this vacation day for a future day, maybe next week when the weather is hopefully much nicer out.
