The real test of Wills

Here it was Memorial Weekend and I was itching for a camping trip with all our equipment and four weeks left before the real thing it seemed like a perfect plan.  Well the weather was not convinced to be reliable or forgiving.  But the good thing is that all our equipment is well prepared for being rain proof, and we did not call anyone for a ride.  The rain was drizzling when we arrived in camp, as we passed and waved a co-worker heading home.  We gathered all our equipment, locked our bikes and made our dehydrated lunch.  Too much water but will need to practice on better measurements.  Dinner was at a cute mexican restaurant in nearby Eden, we rode our bikes there, it was not raining but that was the last break of weather.  By the time we arrived back to camp it started to drizzle again and then the down pour.  It did not quite raining until we reached Mtn. Green on Sunday afternoon at 12:30.  p.m.  We rode thru hail, big hail, rain, drizzling then slush.  Alot of trucks passed us going up that Mtn.  but no-one stopped, humpf  not that we wanted a ride but sometimes you just need reassurance of a good job, or "you guys are crazy".  We made it home in 4 hours wet, cold and surprisingly tired even though we had slept 14 hours.  Not once was I afraid of snakes, but more like the branches falling, hostile neighbors (it was thundering) too much time in the rain! haha.  The good thing, we think we can manage a rainstorm and we are excited to get started on our ride.  If the girls can do it so can we.  Love you two travelers.  Okay so caught up now and will have to post more as time gets closer!!  Promise
