August 13th & 14th
Up until today, we have had excellent weather. We narrowly missed a thunderstorm on Mt.
Evans, instead having perfect temperatures and a gentle breeze. We had great weather in Indiana and, though
we had a horrible thunderstorm in Ohio, it was a travel day so it did not
matter. Philadelphia, New York, and
Boston were not too hot. Even the rain we
had on Cape Cod was perfectly timed.
This all changed in New Hampshire.
As we approached our campsite, dark and heavy clouds moved
in. The ranger told us of 100% chance of
rain the next day so, as we set up camp, we made sure the flies were on
well. This did not prepare us for the
deluge that hit us on the 13th.
It started raining then, as the day progressed, it got worse and
worse. We cowered in an abandoned mall
to read, watched a movie, then searched the small town for something to do in a
tent. Just before darkness fell, we
floated to our campsite expecting to see the worse. All the tents were ok so we crowded into our
tent to play Monopoly until we fell asleep.
