We have been so lucky so as to not have rain, really at all
since May 2 in Orlando, Fl. It’s June 23
and rain has caught up with us. Or maybe
it’s because we’re in Northern California.
As we woke up at 6am in Humboldt State Park, the rain started. We laid in bed snoozing and listening to
it. Later we decided to get on our way,
Tim got drenched and a few outdoor items of ours did too. This was proper drenching rain on top of the
typical foggy mist of the region.
We headed to Redwoods National Park hoping that it would
clear up. Unfortunately, it hadn’t.
As we pulled into the national park, we had already been
considering cancelling or shortening our stay there because we’d had a lot of
Redwoods already. With it raining
outside, no electricity or water, we decided to give ourselves a break. We headed out for a rare lunch out. We headed into the coastal town and to a
seafood restaurant on the wharf. We had
clam chowder and fish and chips and it was a welcome break. Afterwards, we walked outside to brave the
wind and rain and see the sea lions snoozing on the docks.
When we got back to our campsite, Tim had gotten a
full-blown cold and was not up for any outdoor adventures in the rain. So, we all jumped into Karen and Tim’s bed,
snuggled under covers and watched 102 Dalmations on the laptop (thanks for the
DVD, Leslie). Then we decided to push
out the next day aiming for electricity (heat) and water (showers).
We also realised that we had sent out 6 post cards without
postage and had to re-write our thank yous.
Sorry if you received a post card with postage due! Georgia had fun writing post cards with us.
