Most of my trips are scheduled and are on regardless of weather. I haven't met anyone who relishes wet walks in the rain. But I hike to learn how to exist in all conditions.

Lessons learned

1. When I hear thunder, I stop and get rain gear and put pack cover on.
2. Silyon is cold, clingy like an old ex.
3. Light rain all day is harder to cope with and know that lunch will be hot soup and coffee.
4. If it summer, skip and go naked
5. If it winter, hunker down and cover .
6. It will stop raining, so smile and enjoy the solitude, cuz all the fair weather hikers are home.
