Camping In the Rain

Is there anything MORE miserable Than camping in the rain If you know of something Write to me at “Soaked To The Bone” Underwater, Ontario, Canada This was my first time experience Camping in the great outdoors Of all weekends to choose from Weather could not have been worse Except perhaps a hurricane or a tornado This was my first time camping It may have been my last I trusted the official weather forecast Which predicted warm and sunny days For the next six... SILLY ME!!! © Jack Ellison 2014

I have to admit, Jack, camping in the rain does take a bit of the fun out of it. To bad this was the first time. But, don't be discouraged, Camping when the weather is beautiful is a wonderful time. Maybe check several weather reports and average it out. This was a good one my friend.... Robert.

JACK!!!!!! :D Missed you sir! Did you survive the rain? It's probably best to bring a raft next time. Or just stay at a hotel. :) Fun read!

Good morning Jack... from Carol and Dragon. What you needed was to have Dragon along. He can dry clothes REAL fast... Tho less fast is more preferable if you ever want to wear them again... LOL... And he can dry the rain drops over your head before they can get you wet... Remember... It's prudent to not camp at the foot of the hill... in front of a gully for... all the water usually runs THRU gullys... Good to hear from you my friend...

Never thought to ask for Dragon's help! Maybe we could borrow him if we go again! LOL I will definitely take your advice about where not to camp!!! LOL Big hugs... XOXOX
