A Perfect Weekend for a Campout
We had a pretty eventful weekend at the Webelos Woods camp near Buda, Texas. The weather hit us twice - first with the most humid, windless Saturday I can remember then with torrential rain that caused us to have to abandon the campsite in the middle of the night when a flash flood threatened to inundate the area. Everyone got out safely but quite a few tents and a couple of vehicles ended up flooded. The forecast at the time had a 40% chance of rain for the area with rainfall estimates of 1 to 2 inches locally - a bit of an underestimate as it turned out. We got somewhere over 7 inches yesterday!
This shot shows my son standing in the pavilion where everyone gathered after the evacuation. Needless to say, I didn't take any pictures before this point - we were rather busy and I had more important matters on my mind!
I would greatly appreciate your vote in the 2013 Photoblog Awards. Thanks!
