The Weather

During our drive through small towns in Oregon and Idaho, we’d seen bank thermometers reading 96 degrees. At Crater Lake, we saw an overnight low of 32. We may have gone below that mark at Seven Devils Campground in Riggins, Idaho. We’d slept in everything from nearly nothing to fleece tops, sweatpants and double socks.

One thing we had been fortunate to dodge until recently, though, was rain. Yup. Rain. But we’ve been in the Pacific Northwest for quite some time; makes sense we got some of the fabled wet weather. It’s not hard, pounding, all day rain. It’s intermittent, drippy, make you grumpy rain.
