Well I endured the short though intense rain Saturday night again inside the nicely dry Subu at another lower Sierra NF legal disperse camping spot, then bailed Sunday morning when it was obviously going to continue to be windy all day. But Saturday made it all worth it as I added several closeup images to my collection.
