As I settled into my tent for the night I could hear the sound of distant fireworks…or so I thought. As the evening wore on the sound drew closer and closer, a storm was bearing down upon us. I listened to the advancing thunder, I watched the sky (and the inside of my tent) illuminate from the lightning, and I heard the wind begin to pick up. Closer and closer until I could distinctly perceive the distinct sound of the advancing wall of rain. It hit with a vengeance, torrential rain, horrendous winds and scary lightning pounded the camp.
Wrong time to wonder if this was the camp that I set my tent up under a dead branch in the tree overhead…
Below are some general, disjointed thoughts that I will expand on later…
Violent lightning storm last night, rain high winds. Wind change due to storm – a tailwind pushed us south east. Rollers, lots of rollers. Generally good roads Warren Ohio, home to Packard automobiles. Steel mill, coke plant. Breakfast at Perkins with Joe and Doug. Terrace Lakes Campground; seasonals, showers, Laundry (washing machine pretty gross) Pranks – picnic table in Doug’s tent, lightning bugs in someone else’s. “Big family” reunion. Steak fajitas dinner Crawled into tent to nap at 7:38 this is why I’m typing this at 4 am!
