We planned on staying on Tusc today. The day started okay with just light rain. We setup camp and fished a little before noon. Then, it started to really rain. It rained hard from noon Sunday until Monday morning. I don't recall ever seeing 12+ hours of steady, hard rain.

We went out fishing. It started really raining while we were out and we got a lot of our clothes really wet. We didn't plan on this weather. Getting all our clothes wet was going to be a problem... We did catch a nice northern and a nice lake trout.

My tent is a Big Agnes Fly Creek 3. It did great with no leakage. Daughter #2 tent is another Big Agnes tent. It only had minor issues. The other tent was a CCS Lean 3. It is a huge, light shelter. But it doesn;t have a fixed floor. We had rivers of water running through the tent. We were able to keep most of the sleeping bags pretty dry but everything got quite damp.

Around 4pm, we all eventually wound up in the Lean3. It was sheltered from the wind and protected from the rain. We all played games and relaxed.

It never did stop raining. I would up cooking dinner about 8pm under the awning of the Lean. We all ate in the Lean. I even brought the stove inside the Lean. It was nice to get some heat. We even make smores in the lean over the stove.

It was a very cold, wet day. But we made the most of it and had a good time.
