Whew! No biking took place today due to monsoon rains!!! We were still sleeping in our tent when it started pouring at 3 a.m. It was still raining when our alarm went off at 8. No big deal, right? We thought we'd just sleep late and wait it out. By the time 11:00 came, it still hadn't let up. We're not just talking about a light sprinkle either. By noon we knew we had to get our tent packed up so that the campground wouldn't charge us for another night. It is not fun packing up in the mud and rain. I'm pretty sure that nothing in our trunk is dry.
So, we called around to find the cheapest motel en route and we checked in. And here we are in Redfield, NY, it's almost 8 p.m. and it's STILL raining!! Hopefully it will stop before tomorrow...otherwise Mark's rain gear is going to get some good use. I'll let you know what happens!

Great to read that all is well with the Tiu's. We are 3 days from being done, having enjoyed almost 400 car free miles of biking since entering West Virginia,no rain either!

ReplyDeleteMy precious children, I guess the phrase "when it rains, it pours" is sometimes true, especially in Redfield, New York.
ReplyDeleteConsider your brother Job: "As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause; who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number; He gives rain upon the earth and sends waters upon the fields; He sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety." (Job 5:8-11)
