Shards of lightning tore apart the dark morning sky, and deafening cracks of thunder sent rumbles through the earth. Piper didn't want to leave the dry tent in exchange for the rain, but I was persistent. There ws a small window of opportunity where the rain stopped, and I was determined to use that moment to pack up and get on the road.
We rode through the rain from 7 to 10am, at which point we found a covered pavillion in a state park. We took shelter by the picnic tables to eat, read books, and hang out for the remainder of the day.
