In view of the cabin's small size, simultaneous stirring was more or less a given. We sat, drank lots of coffee, continued to chat and one-by-one cleaned up & dressed for the day. The morning weather was quite pleasant, although the wind was kicking up a bit. Well into the morning we piled into the Horan's van & drove to the marina & the adjacent restaurant for a large and delicious breakfast - practically a brunch.
Jay the took us for an extended tour of the area, including a look at the largely rebuilt house once owned by Lynn's mother and previously visited by Marissa. At one point we ran through a short sharp shower, but got back to a dry cabin & yard. After more chatting & more doggie romping we eventually realized we could see distant lightning & hear thunder, so we somewhat expeditiously repacked our stuff in the van, said our good-byes, and were able to get to the main highway before the rains began. Once again we ran through everything from mist to rain so hard even John had to slow down, coming & going seemingly at random.
We eventually got ahead of the weather front just a few miles before Iron Mountain, so were able to cruise through the town in the dry, get checked in to the motel, and start moving our immediate needs inside. As we reached the door on our last trip a few raindrops fell and 30 seconds later the heavens really opened up! Talk about good timing!
The rain came & went, but mostly came, and hard, so we called a local food place with a delivery service & had subs, cheesesticks, and big bottles of drink delivered right to our room. It was all delicious. Thereafter we took things easy for the evening.
Today's trip was only some 99 miles for a grand total of 1570.9 so far.
