| Monsoon, act II
After the monsoon in June, I figured the rest of the year would be the usual Texas weather with perfect camping from September through most of December. Wrong!
I was scheduled to bring the trailer home today to prepare for a 3-night trip to Seminole Canyon State Park for an all-day hike to see some of the oldest pictographs in the country.
Just received a call that the hike is cancelled due to flooded canyons. I was tempted to go anyway, but it is raining and we are under flash flood warnings after 1 1/2" of rain yesterday. It is supposed to get much worse in the next few days. There is a hurricane coming in off the Pacific that is expected to cross here during the weekend.
The big hazard around here are all the low-water crossings. There are 4 possible routes away from my home and three of the routes close almost every time it rains like this.
What frosts me is that I haven't used the trailer for all of the month of October. It hasn't moved except to bring it home one day for some interior work. I do have 2 good trips scheduled in November.
