Rainy Day Hike

Today was the day we could test our rain gear.....except that we didn't have it yet!  We decided to hike anyway....Lynn Headwaters Park.  We got absolutely drenched.  What was worse was that Joanie's boots leaked, her waterproofed leather gortex boots; and not just a little bit, they positively sloshed!  Other than that major disappointment the hike itself was a gentle walk in the rain to Rice Lake and back.  The forest was beautiful and quiet, only fools and ducks out today. We are confident once we have our rain ponchos, which cover us and our packs we will be ready for anything.
