Yikes. Stop The Rain.

Today makes 8 out the last 9 days we have had rain. Yesterday's total was 1.03" and so far this morning, we have had .45" and the day is still young. We can't remember the last time we had so much rain. Even in Washington, it would almost always be less than .25" in any one day. Even though it rained often, it was in small doses. With 2 days to go in February, we have had nearly 5" of rain for the month. The folks back east better prepare for another winter storm since it seems like the storms coming through here ultimately end up in the Northeast as snow.

There was an individual that checked into the park last night just before 9 PM. Since I had patrol duty for the night it was my responsibility to site him - in the pouring rain, of course. I kind of felt sorry for him though, as he had to unhitch and set up his rig in the rain. We now have 2 campers in the short term sites. It must be a drag for anybody that has come here to spend a weekend and have to sit and watch it rain. That's the chance you take. So much for the song that says "It never rains in Southern California".

Today is also our next to last day of work this week. It's been a few days since we've seen our deer family, so they must be hunkered down somewhere in a dry spot (where's that?). We brought home a flyer that we have in the store that shows 21 wine tasting stops in this area. Maybe we'll take that tour on our days off and at least stay dry - or at least, not care about the weather. Later...
