Day 3 – 0 miles….rain day

This was a leftover picture from Day 2....a lone deer at Glimmerglass Lake

We woke up (I think I slept for about 4-5 hours of deeper sleep) around 7:30…
the radar showed more storms coming in our direction soon, and another system behind it.  We put the bike up and Stephen covered some of the chain the best he could, and we headed out toward the next campsite.  It rained a lot of the way there.  We stopped along the way and did some laundry and filled up the gas tank.  By the time we arrived at the next site the rain had stopped for the most part, but now it was after noon, and was hot and humid.


I considered getting on my bike to put some miles on, but Stephen talked me out of it; 
the roads were still wet and part of our concern was the gunk that would get kicked up 
onto the chain. 
We ended up getting a cabin for the night; our tent and fly were wet and we wanted to 
make sure they dried.  Also, the radar showed another system coming our way some time, and we felt it would be best to make sure we were dry and not in any danger from another thunderstorm.


We had some lunch, hung out the tent to dry and settled in for the afternoon.  We walked around the park a little bit and relaxed.  The next 5 days’ forecast looks pretty good, so we know we are in for some traveling…bike riding and car sitting.   

Oh, and look what we saw on our walk!!
