Had a wee bit of rain on Wednesday in the Pine Barrens. Fortunately, this was not my campsite.

poor sods
going from the amount of stuff just left about, they probably just threw up their arms and got in the car to head to town for the day. aka Learn the lesson of eyeballing a tent site for drainage or lack thereof.... |
All that rain must have been a good test for your new tent.

Is that hail or just fat raindrops? It looks like some pretty tough conditions. We've had our QD in rain, but nothing like you experienced. How did your tent do ?

Doug, first all all--- very nice pan shot
secondly, when my wife and i were being tourists on foot in Nantes, numerous times food restaurant delivery bike dudes like this would go hammering in and out of pedestrian foot traffic in people only areas. The French can be rather outspoken about complaining, so I was rather surprised folks didn't yell at them to slow the hell down abd be careful. your shot brought this all back to me |

It's food delivery, the French would probably not tolerate it from other deliveries.

Netherlands-- Guess who got a flat tire about a half hour after this picture was taken. This was the crappiest part of the tour:)

Relevant to nothing. 😁 Hey, where’s the tab for attachments? Hard to add a pic, without that. 🤔
Nevermind, I just confused myself again. 🙄😉 https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b63dc1fd9.jpeg |
If you are going to have a flat tire, have it in front of a French bakery.
