Well, we finally got rain. Just like the Oregon Coast, except it was 60 plus degrees. We woke up to rain driving against the windows of the motel in Rochester this morning. I rolled over and told my bunkies I would catch up later! Not!
So off we went into the melee. The winds were about 15-20 out of the southeast. We were headed east which translates to pretty ugly. There were flash flood warnings, thunderstorm wanrings and tornado warnings. It rained about 2-3 hours and then let up, finally clearing in the pm. All this on top of a 90 mile day!
This fella was in the lobby of the motel in Rochester. Handsome guy! And then there was the park we had SAG in!
And this really good scarecrow. Maybe a hockey mask? Nah...
This is the road through the back country later in the pm. The rolling hills and valleys reminded me of the Coquille valley! The road heading uphill was about 11% for a mile or so...a really tough climb so late in the day...
And these happy campers are glad to be in LaCrosse...its the end of this day...thank goodness. A really trying day. Certainly the worst weather so far...but no thunderstorms or tornados!
