I also haven't been able to kayak at all; a little rain doesn't stop me but the accompanying wind and lightening is another story. Don't want to get caught on the water when a typical Colorado storm is moving in FAST.<br /><br />Great pics. soopereddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435792508755919078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-36791817191196854592015-07-17T17:29:45.700-06:002015-07-17T17:29:45.700-06:00That last picture says it all.

Florida or not, some of the fiercest thunderstorms we've ever encountered have been in the San Juans during summer. It's bad enough riding storms out up there in a jeep. Shorts and a tank top.

For the same reason, I wouldn't have had Florida anywhere on my list. Wow.

The lightning was a huge issue for him and his hiking buddy. They would have to separate, go lie on the ground and not be the highest point on the mountain. It sounded terrifying. It's amazing what people will do without equipment and protection.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-72317411287683070672015-07-16T09:48:54.444-06:002015-07-16T09:48:54.444-06:00We were surprised to see several groups starting u...We were surprised to see several groups starting up the Crag Crest trail the other day in the rain and thunder as we were hurriedly trying to get back to the car.
