Last spring I was the one saying we would still go on the cabin trip, right up until the flood warnings were posted and they started shutting down the low lying roads for flooding. On that cabin trip the campground cancellation charges were $70 out the window, so this year I vowed we wouldn't lay any money down until we knew what the weather was going to be (and we wouldn't trust weathermen near as much).
And indeed, we didn't ---
MM simply chose to plunk down $45 at risk which is a choice he made knowing what he was doing.
Now I am doing some research on how warm you can stay while wearing a rain suit while camping in the rain. So far I think the net issue is overheating, not with staying warm enough.
New thoughts are that I can put up or take down a one man tent quicker than I can put on or take off a full rain suit with foot covers
and guess what, it will need to come off and go on often enough in a week to likely wear out or rip the seams on the crotch and arms. I will bring some duct tape .....
The camp chair will get used a lot because unless MM and I are doing each other's foot covers you simply have to sit down to put your foot covers on.
Next, I am going to carry a big golf umbrella for when we are out walking around Bike Week. If we get rained on then, big deal. Go under a pavillion for a bit and eyeball something. Keep an eyeglass cleaning cloth or two on your person -- my glasses fog up a lot in the rain.
My right bag is totally packed up by a rain suit bag and I am working on slimming down the left bag by leaving off the road rash kit and spare footpegs as I don't think there are any curves to speak of in Florida and EMS is going to be available everywhere we are going to be. The saddle bags are waterproof and I am looking for lockable straps to add to the bags.
Now I am working on the Gym Bag load of stuff that goes into the tent with me. Much less toiletries (a zip lock full and that's it) and much fewer clothes (I will wash stuff in the sink every few days).
