The rain appears to be letting up, for now at least, so I think I’m going to try to make a run for it. I’m a bit hesitant because I’m headed for less settled area, so if it gets bad again, it is going to be harder to find shelter. But on the bright side, I do have enough gear to get through those situations, just not very comfortabely.

I just woke up for a second and took a look at the rain. Its not coming down terrencherally (sp?… I’ll fix it later) but it is coming down very consistantly, but at about a 20 – 30 degree angle!

I wasn’t sure if you would be able to tell what kind of angle the rain was coming down at so I drew a line in to show you. I’m glad I’m under cover tonight!

Today is going alright. I woke up dry, got back on track fairly quickly, and managed to find my way through these poorly marked roads pretty well. I didi get a little off track for part of the morning but got to see some Armish men working the fields, and saw a couple riding in a hourse and buggy.

The rain held off for the entire morning, but there was no holding it off. I felt a few rain drops, took a look up, and knew I was about to get wet. I saw a man standing outside his garage who I started up conversation with and he said I could wait the rain out there. Not 30 seconds later, the rain started coming down in buckets!

I’m going to rake a short rest here, untill the rain let’s up, and then carry on. 32.88 miles so far today. So I’ll definitely break 50 today but not 100.
