Rainfall

Riding this summer has been a challenge so far, to say the least. We have had a large amount of rain, to the extent that it seems like we cannot string together more than two dry days at a time. 

On those days when it is dry, probably a third of the time, we have wildfire smoke from Canada. 

Below are a couple of photos from a recent ride to a local conservation area. The boardwalk pathway is underwater, as is a substantial part of the low lying areas. I noticed the "Road Closed" signs had been brought out in case the roads flooded as well, but luckily the roads stayed just above the water. 

 



 

A few miles north of here they were not so lucky, where there was extensive road washout and even several small bridges swept away.
