Ah Veteran's Day in the Pacific Northwest! What a beautiful time of year - moderate temperatures, rain, rain, and rain. Did I mention that we just had a "pineapple express"? (The "Pineapple Express" is when we have a weather system that has its origins from the Hawaiian tropics. These tend to be the wettest-type of storms we get around here -- bringing between 1-2" of rain per day for Seattle and much more near the mountains -- as it has an abundance of warm, tropical moisture.)
With weather like this, why not go camping? Especially since there was no school on Veteran's Day! This is the plan that Steve and a few of his friends came up with. No worries, as they have done this numerous times without reason to be concerned. Have fun and be careful, along with my usual advice "remember who you are and wear clean underwear"!
And fun they did have! Mission accomplished! Now to get home. Hey! Where's my car? Didn't we leave the car right over there?
The car got towed (and the reason is unclear - there were no private property signs or no parking signs) and it was slightly more than 50 bucks to get the car back. We are still questioning if the car was worth that much. It's a '94 Dodge Neon, afterall!
