Man, this has been one nasty year here so far. We have just been pounded with rain and lightning and wind, but only when it wasn't freezing cold so I guess I shouldn't complain. It's thundering out there again right now. I'm sure it will be raining again in just a few minutes.

It has sucked for backpacking. The trails around are sloppy and so are the roads that lead to many of them.

On the plus side, I heard my daughter's boyfriend just found a bunch of Morels so I might get some cooked up for me tonight. That would sure be nice <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The Donks hate the rain too. They're braying at me now so I better go cheer them up with some grain and hay.
