Day 139 (Oct 2) – The Rainiest Day


I can say without a doubt that this has been the rainiest day we have experienced so far and can say with a good amount of confidence that this will be the rainiest day we will experience on the whole trip.  Muddy Creek was suddenly a rushing river.  Brad wore his metal detecting rain gear to hitch us up while we stayed dry in the camper.  There was about an inch or two of water all around us.  I was so thankful for waterproof hiking shoes.  It rained most of the way to MD.  We stopped at a Wal Mart and ran in through the downpour, but when we came out, it was finally finished.

 We were able to set up at our new campground (Greenbelt Park) in damp, but not soggy conditions.  It was late afternoon and we just stayed put.  Tomorrow: DC.
