   This has happened to me a lot. Just when I’m finally beginning to enjoy something, it’s time to leave.

    Oh no! That reminded me of that happen. My deaf friends and I had the camping trip in Eagle Mts, north of Susanville, CA. When the rain started to pour so heavy, we rushed, grabbed and tossed everything in the bed of truck and left immediately. After a while, we drove down to Susanville, we puzzled the sky was already clear up. Weird! So we stopped by at Denny’s to eat the breakfast and then went home. But we had wonderful camping trip. :-)

    I live in the Pacific Northwest. If you don’t learn to do it in the rain, you don’t do it at all :-)

    Here is South Central Kansas we had rain and the first day of school. No camping. I drive by a lake M-F and not interested. Got mowing done at least.

    The tent has no ground cover and no rain fly. Judging from the pooled water they pitched the tent on ground where rainwater gathers. I can see why they would want to pack it up. Why they wouldn’t wait until the rain lets up to pack it up, I don’t know.

    Michael waited until the very last day of the camping trip to do what he should have been doing all along.

    My great-nephew, Brad, started school in Arma, KS, north of Pittsburg in SE Kansas. His grandmother, my older sister, just called on her daughter’s cell and she said that they were in town (meaning Pittsburg) and it was raining so hard it was “flooding.”

    Edna wanted to know what the radar looked like on the weather news. I told her that what I saw looked like it was pouring down.

    I recall camping out in a tent like that in the rain - saw a new lake being formed - right in the middle of the tent!

    It poured rain everywhere we went on our camping honeymoon 40 years ago. On subsequent camping trips, we could almost always count on rain, so much so that we thought about advertising “fee for service” rainmaking. Set up our tent and watch the sky cloud over.

    Judging by the trees, the climate and the terrain, my guess is that they were camping somewhere in Northern Ontario. If that’s the case, rain goes with the territory! Oh well…..

    This almost seems like the opposite of that Calvin and Hobbes camping trip: it rained for a week. By the time was time to go home after given up about the rain not stopping, the rain stops. Calvin’s father is so frustrated, Calvin asks Hobbes if he understood any of Dad’s words. Hobbes says he wrote them down so they’ll find out once they’re home. Wouldn’t y’all say so?

    RinaFarina said, 3 months ago

    yes, @comixavier, that’s what i understand happened. but i am puzzled by one thing - where / how / who were they going to look up the information from anyway?

    can’t see either of calvin’s parents being willing to enlighten them, to start with…
