September 4, 2007 -- In a puddle at Camp Soldner
Moving day has been delayed due to rain. This part of the U.P. has been in dire need of rain for much of the summer. Except for a little rain a week ago, it's been bone dry. The Forest Service issued a total burning ban some time ago and the fire danger has been listed as "extreme".
Last night a series of thunderstorms rumbled through and we woke up in a puddle of water. We're parked on grass here at Camp Soldner and the grass is getting saturated. Those are not the conditions you want when moving a 32,000 lb. bus. I can't imagine what it'd cost to get us pulled out of the mud if we sank in and got stuck.
So, we're staying for at least another day. The rain is still falling as I write this, but it's predicted to let up this afternoon and be dry tomorrow.
But if you've got to be stuck somewhere, what better place than this?

Sounds like the U.P. is a beautiful place to visit. Makes me want to get up there some day and do some touring around. We just finished our weekend with JT and Kaitlyn (they are flying out today). I think Kaitlyn liked the northwest and hopefully maybe one day they will move out this direction. Anyway glad to see some new entries today when I came to work.
Its great to hear from you guys, I'm sure you and Dar could rock that bus out of the mud if you had to. Just make sure to have the video on. Glad to hear from you.
