Well, not usually. We're here in Canon City, and it's rained every day we've
been here. Thunder, lightning, sprinkles, and downright torrents. Yesterday
it rained so hard that the dry gully in the middle of the CG turned into a
rushing stream. The CG is built, running downhill from US-50. Every site is
"mostly" level, with a fair space between each site. It was raining so hard
that the water running downhill, under the MH, swamped the mats outside the
steps. Couldn't see them at all. One of the hardest rains I've seen, but it
only lasted for about an hour.
Part of my plans for this area was to buy a fishing license, and spend some
time tempting trout, but the water in the rivers and streams is brown. Too
dirty to even try. A few days ago I was commenting on how happy I was to be
in a dryer climate. Arrrrgggg.
Oh, we're in a pretty good storm right now. It rolled in from the South.
Lots of lightning, thunder and rain, rain, rain. Nearest lighting strike, so
far, was 2 seconds away. Close enough to get my attention. :-)
It hasn't stopped us, except for the fishing, and I'll get that in while I'm
in Gunnison and Montrose.
Let me guess... It happened between 3pm and 5pm? Been there done
that.
We're in Northrn Michigan. Been here two weeks now. We're getting
the thunderstorm about every other day here. One campsite across from
us at Interlochen SP near Traverse City 10 days ago was under two inches
of rain. They packed up an left. About a week ago we had lightning so
close we couldn't detect any time diference between the light and the
sound. Now that's getting close. Crossed over the Macinack Bridge
yesterday. We'll see if the weather improves.
