We easily weathered the thunderstorms, lightning and flash floods last night. The creek (from which we purposely chose a site well away and above) has turned from a quiet little creek one could easily cross on the trail into a raging river 20 feet wide and 4-6 feet deep with cascades every 50 yards or so.
I also discovered that my phone was set to receive NWS alerts; and it did so starting at 11:15 pm. Well, I was already awake from the thunder, so no big deal for me. But it did give Tom a fright, until we figured out what was making all the racket. Turns out we had already seen the warnings on TV earlier, but still it was good to know we would be awakened in case there was a change.
Of all the parks we have stayed in thus far, this has to be the prettiest. Even with the rain, the blooming trees and flowers are so nice.
As we have watched the weather coming across the country, we have been concerned about your safety. Glad to hear that you are good to go. Your trip commentary has been fantastic. Brings back many memories from our trip several years ago. Stay safe and enjoy each and every moment. Hugs to Herc.
ReplyDeleteBoy oh Boy - Mother Nature can sure throw a wrench into travel plans. We woke up this morning to two inches of snow on the ground. What? Yes, its April 14th.
ReplyDeleteThat mean Mother doesn't care. Weather is headed for a big warm up so no worries. Stay safe! Luv Ya!
