When I got back to the camp site, I had to PEEL my blue jeans, boots and socks off!

I did have rain-gear either. By the time we could stop, it was too late to put it on. I would have had to cover soaked clothes by then. Just rode home with soaked jeans, a t-shirt, and a wind-breaker. It sucked.

Next time, I am stopping when there are clouds in the sky!!

I actually am glad I wasn't in it with you. You are all OK, and that is great, I'm jealous that you have a great story to pass on. ;)

Next rally, we'll hook up so you'll have a story to tell. Now it's gonna be a trend of boredom for a while. You'll just have to tough it out until the spectacular flash in the pan! You see,,,,,,,,, I do things like get caught in a HORRIFIC THUNDERSTORM with two (2) five and a half foot lightning rods connected to the Nomad!...........With nair rain suit!

I just happen to be with three well prepared smart people who did that very thing!

I had a wind breaker and a vest on as well. I learned what wind breakers a for. Breaking wind and not rain. They also after being soaked with rain, allow it to pas through and it STAYS! It puddles at the elbow and slaps in the wind! It also serve as a funnel strait to your pants, and as rain weeps through the fabric, it does this aggravating trickle down your back!

Had CoachA and possy not stayed at the camp site I would have had a nightmare story to tell! He zipped my camper closed for me and had to keep his from blowing two counties away! ::)
