Patty’s Wanderings & Wonderings: A Walk In the Rain

I walked from the house where I'm staying up to the top of Council Crest..uphill all the way, carrying my 14 pound backpack. I was prepared for the rain with my rain jacket and hat to keep the hood off my face.
Started out in intermittent rain and relatively warm. Under the jacket, I was wearing a wicking T-shirt, my arms were kinda cold. I had skipped putting on my rain pants...whoop
The walk up was good. About a 1/4 of a mile was on a lovely trail, but the rest was pavement.
On Council Crest the rain was steady. By the time I got to the top, the wind was blowing,the rain was coming at me sideways and I was regretting not putting on my rainpants. It reminded me on crossing the Pyrenees. Once I was down from the top, the rain stopped, the wind stopped, but the sun did not come out.
The walk down hill to Sunset was dry and by the time I was back at the house, my pants were completely dry.
I had walked just 5.5 miles.
