The lightning was the absolute least of my worries in that thunderstorm. For about 5 minutes it rained like water being poured out of a bucket. There was a guy ahead of me that recognized my distress and slowed down to let me lock in behind him. I got a chance to thank him when we were stopped alongside the road waiting for a wash to go down to a fordable depth. By then the sun was shining and it was very pleasant out... He said if the rain would have lasted any longer he'd have pulled over and gotten me in his pickup to wait it out...

Who says there are no good people left in the world?

I promise more of the journey. I've got about 400 photos...

Thanks Joan. Always appreciate hearing from you.
