Two nights ago (the night under the bandstand) neither of us got much sleep because of a bad thunderstorm that lasted all night. That day we rode 56 miles to Bogue Chitto state park. It was a fairly nice day and we even went for a swim in the river. That evening, last night, things changed; from nice to ugly real quick. The storm was worse then the previous and we were just in our tents. I didn't know it untill morning but Charlie was fighting with a leaky tent, mine was leaking too but not near as bad, the rain was just that intense I don't think any tent would keep you completely dry. When we got up it was still raining but we needed to do something. After making some calls we went to the bath house and found the wash room was free. We got on drying things right away. By 11 we and our gear were fairly dry but we were very tired. The rain had subsided but it was still very cloudy and I made the decision to head to Amite and get a hotel room, so we can get some rest. We rode 27 miles today, ate a good dinner, and are relaxing in a room that for our normal is expensive. Hopefully we get the sleep we need and feel good tomorrow. Tomorrow we head to Perry's (warmshowers host) outside of Jackson, LA.
