kal-haven bike trail: where a 30% chance of rain means a 100% chance of rain

here is jarrod, nine miles in, shortly before the rain starts

so we stopped at this picnic table to eat a snack and wait out the rain, which happened to get steadier by the minute. of course, jarrod and i brought no rain gear, no change of clothes and no towels. we were nine miles away from our car.  did i mention we were wearing corduroy and denim also? two fabrics that do not "wick" moisture away rather, they hold it in close and strong, like a sponge. a sponge one cannot wring out. so, we braved the rain and powered back. about 500 feet from our car, the rain stopped and the sun came out. 

corduroy also locks in dirt that may have sprayed up on you as jarrod's butt shows.

dry at last.
