The rain must fall
Even in paradise it rains sometimes. Like today. We opted to stay close to our home base and simply relax. Avoid getting wet. Until finally in late afternoon we realized that any chances for food and restaurant would have to be done now before people headed for home. In the restaurant conversation seemed to be all about the amount of rain that had fallen and the electrical outages and how things weren’t like they used to be. I can go with that. We finished our plates. In this case gravy and cheese with chicken we love. They are well known around here. It was a good choice to not be far from our campsite because the roads were not really what you would want. The locals must laugh at tourists who will go out in the worst of weather to get mediocre food. Or the only food available. This is not a big city. I do commend proprietors of the campground. That would be me I guess because I’m a typical taxpayer but this National Park is really top notch. In fact one of the better ones I’ve stayed in ever. Right now our only worry is a power outage on the campground like it did for the restaurant. Could lead to a cold night I guess. We did use the battery pack several nights ago. Drained it down to 0 to keep warm. Still not fully recovered from that so if we have to go back on battery power it will be for a shorter night. I guess once you’re in your sleeping bag it really doesn’t matter too much. Not likely to freeze to death. I am not an explorer of the far north.
