So it rained just a little. Brendan and I made it from the house on our bikes to the Billy Goat Trail. We hiked trail A with the intention of moving on from there to camp at Swains Lock. Half way through the hike, the skies opened and we got drenched! We giggled the whole time. There was no sense looking for shelter - we couldn't get any wetter. On the way - we saw toads and lizards everywhere. Very cool!
Before starting the hike we fortunately covered the gear with plastic, so everything stayed dry. But as we walked to the bikes we had to decide if we would still camp or call it a day. We decided that we had a great day together and risking it with a miserable wet night was probably not the smartest idea. So we biked down to the deli on MacArther Blvd., ordered a couple sandwiches and called Michael to hitch a ride home.
While we waited for Michael, Brendan asked when we could try again. He told me he was so lucky to have parents that do cool things like bike camping and he could wait to try again. I love that we had so much fun together! In all we biked nearly 25 miles and hiked the Billy Goat Trail. Not bad!
Oh - and with all the rain last night... glad we came home.
Off to canoe camping today.
