In Washington you have to learn to adapt. Otherwise you'd never do anything but stay indoors. Take today for example. Jeff and I had planned a hike on Tiger Mountain this afternoon at 2:30. It was beautiful ALL day.
That is until 2:25.
Then the rain came.
It wasn't a downpour, but definitely enough to get you wet. In Washington we call this a sprinkle, in Arizona they call it a downpour and in SoCal they call it "dude."
The sprinkle was coming down as we drove out to the trail head. Our destination was the trails around Tradition Lake near Issaquah. By the time we showed up, the sprinkle had turned into a drizzle. Or in Arizona terms a flood.
But we figured that it was a warm rain and a little bit of wetness wasn't going to hurt anyone. So we took off.
The hike wasn't very hard at all. Next time we're going to try one that gains more elevation. But being unfamilar with the area, this hike was great. Plus, the rain kept most people away for the afternoon. Although we did see seven or eight other people, who like us, would rather brave the rains then sit inside.
