So I suppose I'm far from a fair weather hiker, I actually even enjoy getting clobbered at night, I find it very relaxing to sit in my own little personal bit of comfort with a storm outside. Does that make me strange?


Not at all! I love that stuff...it's part of the "unknown" factor that makes all this fun. Crashing through waves and spray in our sailboats and kayaks brings life to the sport. A little surprise weather at night, as you say, can be relaxing. Tornadoes are NOT relaxing. Most hammock hangers know that 'bucking bronco' feel from hanging from springy saplings buffeted by wind is actually kinda cool! grin
