I'm sitting here in the dark early morning sipping my coffee and listening to the thunderstorm rage outside my window. I usually love these moments, unfortunately, this morning my family and I were supposed to head out on a long-awaited camping trip. I even took a much needed day off of work.
The forecast calls for a good deal more of rain throughout the day but I am, for now at least, remaining...somewhat slightly optimistic that the sun will come out soon and dry up all the rain and the mud and our already paid for campsite.
The worst part is not being able to fully enjoy the lakes and camping with my son. My father always took me to this lake and I was hoping to show my son some of the sites...
I believe out would be campsite is located under the protection of trees and their leaves so that part might be partially dry and the gravel roads usually dry up much faster the dirt ones. so at the very least, we can drive out there and check things out. Maybe retain at least part of our camping trip. But the extended forecast does not share my thoughts.
Still, I remain optimistic that we can salvage a small part of this day a devote it to something other than sitting in the house feeling sorry for our lost plans.
At the very least, I can always know that the worst day camping (or not) beats the best day working at a job I hate...
Rain rain go away... please?
