But there is a point when "too dumb to come in out of the rain" kicks in :))<br /><br />Hobo Pals,<br />Thank you. I do like to remind myself (and readers) of our good fortune to land in Lovely Ouray :))<br /><br />Dennis,<br />Long time no see... and, glad you appreciated the bike ride.<br /><br />Spotted Dog,<br />That thought crossed my mind, too... will my metal ride attract lightning? I've heard that an "ON" cell phone will. It's funny picturing you ditching your bike and running for cover... laying low in the bushes... and then wondering where in the hell you put it. That must have been a long walk home. Glad you went back and found it :))<br /><br />And I see that I did ride past your header photo! Thanks for pointing it out.<br /><br />Jim and Sandie,<br />Thanks... If Lightning strikes I doubt I'll know it or feel it until I wake up in the hospital... if I wake up :)). <br /><br />Scamps,<br />After a dry as a bone may and june, I'm enjoying the monsoons... tho people in India would likely laugh at our afternoon thunderstorms being called such. 20 hours of rain a day? Now that's a monsoon. Enjoy your wanderings and hope to see you this winter near Madera. We'll go bird watching.<br /><br />Thanks, Gaelyn,<br />I rode the same route the next day with Bobbie and Leonard... a 50% chance of rain and we never got a drop.<br /><br />Klbex,<br />Thanks... I guess it was funnier in hindsight :))<br /><br />JIm and Gayle,<br />But the rain in Florida is so warm! Thanks, I'm enjoying your hikes as you travel and taking notes.<br />See you down the road.<br /><br />John Q,<br />Me? Lose my inner child? Not a chance :)) Why do think I took you up Skyrocket? Just to see the expression on your face :)).

He was laughing and just enjoying the wet conditions, sounds like you were doing the same. Don't loose that inner child.

Didn't sound the least bit fun to me. I always hated getting caught in rain on the bike and bitched about it the rest of the way.<br /><br />Glad you survived.<br /><br />Heading off to Salida today.<br /><br />JimJim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-74565506049475072012012-08-15T08:24:59.042-06:002012-08-15T08:24:59.042-06:00Loved this post.

Monsoons have been a daily part of life this past 7 weeks! Great description of your exhilarating ride. Brought back the memory of our hike in Torres Del Paine in a windy downpour. Wow to feel so alive! Cheers.

I recall one time being in the exact same type storm and being so nervous about the lightning that I ditched my bike, worrying it might be a lightning rod. This was in thick brush - I couldn't find it after the storm and had to walk home - LOL. Went back and found it later.Spotted Dog Ranch:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15734250215386335527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-5281238053563953462012-08-14T13:37:09.202-06:002012-08-14T13:37:09.202-06:00Damn fine write up.Damn fine write up.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697183380805916954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-84120034712355367952012-08-14T10:59:13.348-06:002012-08-14T10:59:13.348-06:00I loved YOUR rain for all the reasons you so eloqu...I loved YOUR rain for all the reasons you so eloquently explain.

You must be out IN it. If you retreat inside, the the house, the rig, or a car... somehow... you miss it. <br /><br />The feel of the rain, the sound of the thunder, the sensation of Living... is somehow sharper and clearer for those who experience it and unexplainable to those who run for cover at every cloud and wisp of wind.<br /><br />It's like the 'adults' that can't see "spirits" any more... <br /><br />Crazy? nah... just Alive.Brianhttp://www.rv-boondocking-the-good-life.comnoreply@blogger.com
