As it got lighter approaching the 7AM start, the sky was less ominious but cloudy nonetheless. At 6:55, it started RAINING.
I feel like I'm reading something out of National Geographic. What a wonderful tale to share with the grandchildren. I'm glad you all enjoyed not only the companionship but an excellent ride as well. Congratulations to the Silvers, Makbike, Indysteel, SR500s, and other courageous adventurers as well.
