I don't mind the rain. Living in the PNW you get use to it. But I hate downpours and I hate the spray caused by cars as they pass. I love a cloudy morning though because it's somewhat mysterious. Except in South Dakota last year where those morning clouds often turned into thunderstorms late at night with the chance of a tornado. It rained 11 days of my 96 days on the road last summer but I only stopped to take cover 3 times.
