Ahhhhhh........but Lad.......what could be finer than being out on Ebens Head with half a tumbler of Single malt....top covered by the other hand....and taking it away till you have just the right amount of Rain Water.
Perhaps a dram or two inside first. Checking for lightning and such.......but in a squall on the Head yelling at the top of your lungs to be heard......priceless.........

Slocan Lake BC ......thunder storm, lightning with daughter
Baldy Mountain near Cimaron NM....thunder storm, lightning at night
Selkirk Shores NY ......thunder storm, ,BIG wind with a drink. Big waves.
49 Palms Oasis CA ......sand storm, back to the wind.....hand over drink
Quail Mountain in Joshua Tree.........snow storm.....with a good woman who loved weather too.
All different....yet all the same. And a smile on my face.

When I go I'd like it in a place like that......shot by a jealous husband at 98.....or dancing a Tango with a beautiful woman at 95......any would do.

Loading the boat to head home from the camp the sky was clear and sun out bright, light Southerly wind very little wave action but within 15 mins the big heavy dark clouds started racing across the sky, another 15 mins and those dark clouds hid the sun and had the sky covered horizon to horizon in all directions. Got home before any precip but likely not far off, thought thunder or lightening would happen at any second.

It started to storm and most didn’t want to get wet and headed back.

We dumped our packs and headed up. Worth it.

Inhaling didn't get you much up there. Lol

At that point we had been under pack 7 days. Rain would have helped.

What I would've given for half the Hi Tech equipment there is today.

 

[Cantdog]

Wind started up a while back.....little rain.....but according to my radar loops we're just on the eastern edge of a major chit storm.....up through the middle of the state, clear up into Keebec.....coming this way though....power flickering a bit....have to put and extra hair tie in muh ponytail today!!!!

 

[Cantdog]

WHOOOYEAH!!! The wind is coming up with the sun I fear....raining like hell.....power on and off.....one good thing about a laptop is that it doesn't flip out when the power fails....you're just not connected any longer.....proving it now!!!

OK....power gone now....Kazawaki for the win!!! Running on homemade 'lectricty now!!! Good tymes!!!

That fast rushing air starting to make noises here now, very heavily overcast so rain likely not far off. Surprised we didn`t get any overnight, those heavy clouds held their moisture back, taking it somewhere else.

I still carry the same amount of gear into the backwoods but the load has gotten nearly 10 lbs lighter, the tent alone is 5 lbs lighter, some sort of gossamer fabric looks like it would blow away with your breath but tough as all get out.
