Road trip... and the rain...

Johnny and I took a road trip a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful day!!! Sunny with just a few puffy clouds. Perfect day for a drive.

We went up by Clear Lake for Johnny to get his hunting tree stand out of the tree as hunting season is over. We get there and walk about 15 minutes in to the tree stand. Above is the pic of when we are about 5 minutes in. We saw several deer and doe or whatever you call them along the way in. The air was brisk and clean smelled so good. LOVED IT!! I miss fresh air. Ha!!

We get to the tree and Johnny takes about 15 minutes getting it down and packed up. As soon as he finish we started to walk back. About 3 steps from the tree a little tiny drop of rain lands on my nose. And apparently on Johnny's too... because we both looked at each other and said "its sprinkling!!" and we kept on walking thinking it should clear up in a second. Especially since it wasn't even cloudy when we walked in there 35 minutes earlier. About 10 steps later it started to 'sprinkle' a little harder. And then harder.... and then it was a full on rain. We started laughing... after all it's only a random little sprinkle/rain right? Um no, within 3 minutes of it starting it was POURING!! We got drenched!!!!

By the time we made it back to the truck we were soaked through and through. And cold!! So we cranked up the heater and cracked the windows and started to drive to old town Clear Lake. Unfortunately the rain did NOT let up and we were so cold and soggy that we decided to not leave the truck to walk around. Not to mention, neither of us had a jacket. We did stop for about an hour at the Jackson Casino though. We grabbed a coffee, gambled $100 of his money (he lost $80.00 and I made $50 on the $20.00 I used. Heehee) took this picture and left.

Johnny ended up with really bad cold from the adventure. I ended up with these pics and we both have the memories!!
