Well I woke up and the humidity was so heavy I almost choked on it. I walked into West Bend and ate an awesome breakfast at Perkin's. They were so nice to me even though I reeked. I mean, really really reeked. Ten minutes after I sat down it began to pour and the lightning was dramatic. I have a long, squirrelly roadwalk coming up and I definitely don't want to do it in weather this bad. When I left Perkin's the sky was lit up with bolts of lightning - five, six at a time. Uhhh. No thanks. I checked into a motel at 9 AM. This effectively destroys my plan to be in Hartland on the 27th but I am a weenie when it comes to lightning like this. I just took a shower and the whole time I could hear the crash of thunder over the noise of the shower. Yeah...this was the right decision.
You are NOT a weenie! You made the right choice. We feel so much better knowing you are not dodging lightning bolts---Mother Mary and Dad
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely the right decision. Humidity in our house without air conditioning was pretty bad last night, but I had a ceiling fan. I don't think the breeze picked up until 7:30 this morning.
ReplyDeleteI stayed in West Bend one night after carefully considering how comfortable sleeping in the back of my car would be. I've grown to like the area.
I agree with you about the upcoming road hike, having done it twice now. I can smile at Sleeping Dragon Road, picturing a ceramic we bought in Wales each time I reach it. It's just a long way from Paradise!
Wow Jo, if those feet are evidence of what you get from hiking 15 to 20 miles a day I think I will stay with my 10 to 12 miles and be happy - Lol (Ps: Thanks again for keeping us up to date with this latest adventure!)
