Woke to rain. Debated to stay or venture out. Headed out in cold rain. Discovered my rain pants are not really rain pants.
After a couple of hours, headed off the Parkway to look for breakfast. Ended up in Buena Vista. Nothing but fast food open on this Sunday morning. Ate at Hardees. Do you know you can buy a double cheeseburger, chili dog, fries, apple pie, and soda for $5? Those have to be the cheapest 2000 calories ever.
Once the fog lifted, it was a beautiful ride along Skyline Drive. Amazing views made more dramatic by the clouds. But riding in the rain is difficult, riding while cold is even more difficult so we called it quits 50 miles early. Pulled into the Big Meadows Campground.
Hot showers and a dryer for our clothes-- so wonderful, hard to describe. Hung out in the warm lodge, drank some cocoa, and played with our electronic toys.
