You should take some books with you and read from old Americana on those rainy nights. I’d love to hear you narrate passages from Edgar Allen Poe, Hawthorn, Melville, Whitman etc. The wilderness is a perfect setting for such!

This is a great video, Duane! Thank-you. Sorry it rained on you but there's peace even in the rain. I often think of the early explorers. They didn't have trail bikes, speed boats, aeroplanes or boom boxes to contend with! The tranquility must have been beautiful, despite cinditions being rough! Nikki

Yeah that's a great point! Although it would have been amazing to experience that. Now we have to venture out farther away to try and find something like that nowadays. The funny thing about the rain is it doesn't really rain much around here AND (like I mentioned early in the video) when it does it typically does it quickly and then it's like it never happened. The concern is I knew "Hillary" was rolling in and technically the "storm" hadn't actually started yet. So I was worried about getting stuck up there. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

Yeah I know part of 58 was washed out and one of the roads by Red Rock Canyon. I really didn't want to try to come down those dirt mountain roads after a serious storm. I just thought I was going to miss it and it would start to get back on Sunday... I'm contemplating heading up there this weekend to see how it survived from all of that - but still trying to figure out where I'm going to point the windshield. I'm taking my youngest with me on this next trip so it should be fun!

Great idea about a walk around. I think I’ll do that this weekend when we head out. Picking up the youngest tomorrow for a weekend adventure!
