Change in plans . . . woke up much later than I wanted to this morning, with a pounding headache (which in itself is not a good weather sign -- my head is often, unfortunately, a quite handy barometer. ) I'm feeling better now, but the local forecasts for Lewisberry are still split on when the thunderstorms will arrive this afternoon/evening, and how severe they might be (some mention the possibility of hail, damaging winds, and cloud-to-ground lightning.)

I debated riding up partway and finding a B&B before the poop hits the fan, but now I think I'm just going to go spin around the airport a few times (I've never ridden the bike even around the block fully loaded) and then (in about as much law-breaking as I'm inclined to do -- I would *never* sneak beer into the state park ) hit the NCR Trail at about 4:00 a.m. tomorrow, hoping to get to the park by around 9:30 or 10:00.

Keeping myfingers crossed for a good day for you, Charlie!
