After we returned to our campsite, we relaxed a little more and started to make dinner. That's when we noticed the angry sky. Scott had rigged up a wonderful rain tarp over our eating area and we sat through a rain shower earlier in the day without getting wet. But we had no inkling of just how intense this new rain storm was going to be.
The wind slowly built up as the rain started. We were convinced it would just be a brief shower. Then all hell broke loose. The wind drove the intense rain horizontally, so the tarp provided no protection. Still, we stood there and let the storm batter us. Eventually, we got soaking wet and realized the rain was not going to let up any time soon. That ended up being a worthy decision because the rain didn't let up for another hour. We grabbed something for dinner out of the food box and beat a hasty retreat to a warm and dry tent.
Here's picture of us playing cards in the tent after dinner.
