Friday, August 25, 2023 Well, it was an interesting night. I woke up in the middle of the night because it was raining. Not the little drizzle that I been experiencing, but a very hard downpour. I'm not sure how long it lasted, but it was at least an hour. I fell back to sleep when it had calmed down to a drizzle, and woke to a very wet camp. Of course, this meant that, once again, I had cloudy skies. But an hour later, I saw my first, and only, sunrise. And it seemed it was going to last. I decided that I was going to spend the day reading and soaking up some rays, maybe a little fishing, but for sure getting some sun. The temps throughout the trip were fairly mild, 60's to 70's in the day, 50's at night, but the sun made it seem so much warmer. So I got my book, made a cup of tea, found a dry rock and proceeded to be lazy. But I was a tad early, it seemed. Clouds rolled in, and for the next couple of hours I sat and waited for the inevitable rain. But it never materialized, and after lunch the sun returned and I got on with my tanning session. And surprise, surprise, it lasted most of the rest of the day. I got some reading done, did a little fishing, and accomplished what I set out to do--be lazy.
