Camping never seems to go right for my brother and me as far as weather is concerned. We like to “rough-it” when we head off to the wilderness. I would say our hardcore level is somewhere between Bear Grylls eating something nasty and sleeping in a campground. We have matches and don’t eat worms so I can’t brag about being a true wilderness man. Needless to say, when there is precipitation it is a problem because we sleep in hammocks strung between the trees. What’s better than falling asleep under the stars? The last two times we headed off into the woods it rained and snowed. Kennerdell was no different. Before we even found a spot to set up shop the rain started to pour down on us. And it wasn’t the nice kind of rain that you see in a romantic comedy when the two leads finally realize that they are meant for each other and kiss in the rain. It was the kind where you take shelter in fear of a flood. So in darkness we set up a MacGyver shelter to keep ourselves as dry as we could. You’ll see in the photographs below. All the cold and wet left us when we finally were able to build a fire for the night. We woke up to the most amazing morning light peaking through the dense forest branches. Cheers to waking up to nature’s beauty!
