Ah, the joys of camping! At 5:30AM, I woke to the sound of rain drops and scrambled out of the tent to put the dog beds and toys back in the van. By 7AM the sun was out and it was too hot to be in the tent one minute longer. Then at around 8:30AM there were dark clouds rolling in again and I had to pick up the pace in order to get the tent down and the van packed before the rain came back. The campground was almost empty by 10AM and although I also hurried to take camp down I also relished being welcomed back to Washington by this typical bipolar weather.
