Last night, as we planned for the day, we were hoping for a 15 mile day.  That would take us to a small but idealist campsite.  It would be a strong push for a resupply in Hampton.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The challenge was the weather.  An extreme storm was expected starting at 3 p.m. with high winds and hail from 1 to 1.5 inches.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We were up early.  As we hiked the rumble of thunder echoed through the hills.  Then the rain started.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our first bailout point was was a hostel, just 3.3 miles.  I was leading and reached the first point first.  By then, the rain was coming down hard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kea was next.  By the expression on his face, we’d be spending $15 for a tent site to avoid all this.  We walked to the hostel drenched.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We checked in, took a shower, and did some laundry.  Half pound Big Boy hamburgers are $7.99 and pints of Gaelic Ale is $2.99.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I know what you are thinking, but that really happened.  Hawaii and Captain Blogger are here too.  So, yeah.  We laughed.  We drank good beer.  It didn’t rain a drop and no hail fell.  Can’t explain it.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
