Bulldog34, it may not have been funny during your adventure, but I am doing the "LMAO." I, too, have had my share of "rainy days." Routine backpacking trip gone soggy. Yep, been there and done that. I didn't have the "storm drain" but oh did I have the mud!

Sounds like good material to send to Backpacker Magazine. Glad you survived your ordeal...

I am still LMAO!

I don't think it can rain in Lone Pine on July 15 and 16, but after the winter we had anything can happen.

Better pack galoshes! grin

Anyhoo, in any event, wifey-pooh and I will make sure you and QS have a cold one and a warm fire just in case of "inclement" weather.


Journey well...
