Count Slugula. (Name stolen from Beth.)
On Thursday the 13th, we walked 12 miles along the ridgeline. I have almost no pictures, despite it being gorgeous. And that is because about an hour into the day, lightning cracked directly overhead, and we got hailed on. And then it never stopped. We ducked into some bushes to get our raingear on (and that's when MF discovered his raincoat is moldy), and found a guy with a couple young boys. I think it was a boyscout troop or something doing a section hike. But he put them in the bushes to stay dry during the storm. I don't know what happened to them, because it rained for hours. It was really weird. If you aren't comfortable walking in a storm, you find a shelter. You either stay where you are, or you run to the next one. Sitting in the bushes slowly getting wet is a sure way to get hypothermia. And it was definitely a cold rain.
