05-06-13 Sheltering in Place Together



Woke up to the sound of rain and wind on a tin roof. Forecast was indicating 100% chance of rain all day until 11 p.m. and 90% chance of rain tomorrow. Together, with a group of 9 other hikers, we opted to shelter in place.

About 9 a.m. the rain let up briefly, and the whole shelter cleared out for the privy--or some shrubbery.

Throughout the day we played games, relaxed and socialized. Other hikers would shuffle in and out, each arriving soaked and frazzled.

Around 8 p.m. we saw a most unusual sight. The sun was peaking out--it was a beautiful sight, but short lived. Close behind was a thunderstorm.
