Getting to Texas in the rain
 

currently I am in Texas and let me tell you that we ran into some expected weather .Most of the drive here was pretty rough and I was pretty worried about us making it one piece. The drive started getting f pretty rough when we got passed Mississippi. From there it started raining on and off .now I love the rain. It's great weather to run in, it's nice for cooling off and it helps me sleep like a baby but the rain we ran into was rain I hate. It was on and off downpour

 

Now I dont mean like a downpour where you can manage and run through without much issue .I mean downpour as in full blast, can't see ten feet in front of you kind of downpour. It was insane .along with being boxed in, dealing with semis, and having a cat in the back seat who demands attention I now had to deal with this rain. I got so close to my steering wheel that my chest was touching it. I was almost completely blind and had to mostly follow the car in front of me. Total chaos. 

For a while I was sure we werw going to have to pull over and stay somewhere else .the rain was not stopping and I was trying really hard to pay attention to all the details around  me. One wrong move and I could accidentally get us both killed. 

Luckily nobody was too stupid on the road and I was able to make my way safely to the campsite (thank God) but of course most of the places is flooded so staying in a tent was out of the question. Instead I made room in the car and made sure to leave the reservation notice out front. After all it might look strange that there's a car but no tent out. 

Hopefully tomorrow will go better and I will be able to make the goals I need to make and have a fun time. I get to see a good friend of mine tomorrow and its almost been a year since I last saw him. 

 

So stay tuned because there is more to come!
