Rain---Rain---Rain

[tawa]

Here in the Midwest we are socked into a daily rain pattern lasting for the next two weeks!! Looks like it is moving into the SE and Mid Atlantic States.
Those starting their thru hikes on Valentines Day or during the next two weeks are going to be baptized daily!!
Hope they are prepared to embrace the suck right out of the gate!
Takes me back several yrs ago when fellow hiker George and I signed in at Amacolola Park on January 1st and hiked up the stairs in a downpour which lasted most of the way to Springer before it turned to a drizzle with pea soup fog!!

Giving up negative thoughts and words for lent! Sooooo Im so glad we are getting all this rain so that the Spring plants will be so beautiful and that there will be an abundance of water in the springs and streams!!
Easy for me to say as I don't leave for my return to the trail in PA on March 28th.
Please share strategies you use or have used when you have gotten rained on for a week or more.
