After eating prepared foods up until now, I was fixin' to cook some red rice and beans tonight. Even planned on having a campfire, but at 4:30 you could see the angry clouds moving closer, and at 5:30 all hell broke loose.
I had brought everything to the car except the tent, and I'm sitting in the car right now. My tent withstood the wind and rain, but when I went to get my sleeping bag out of it I found it was damp in places. I spread it out as much as I could in the car and it's drying quickly. I should have sprayed some waterproofing on the fly before I left but didn't have time, and that will be something I'll take care of very soon.
The rain stopped and the sun is shining low through the trees. I just ate some peanut butter crackers and probably won't do anything but snack now.
I've had the best of times and the worst of times on this trip, but am I going to let adversity get the best of me? Hell no, I'm not! This rain storm wasn't even among the worst of times. I see a few people leaving the campground, including a Class C. Now what the hell does he have to worry about. This is one time when I envy the RVers - they can just batten down the hatches, cook their supper and dine leisurely, and stay dry!
I'm not getting much of a signal and don't want to run down the batteries too much, so I'll post again tomorrow if I can.

The weather in the east is truly amazing, and reminds me of a few blizzards I have been through when I lived there. There is something exciting about making the preparations, getting food (and drink) in, battening down the hatches, and watching...
