Okay, so... false alarm. There's a probability I won't be going, because backpacking in the mountains during a thunderstorm isn't exactly a smart idea.
We might still go, but we also might not. I guess we'll see.
Backpacking is super fun. I went one time when it was snowing and hailing and raining the whole way we were hiking up, but then as soon as we got there and got the tent set up, it stopped. We were kind of mad.
I was supposed to go a week or so ago, but there were also thunderstorms then. I guess monsoon (MonSoon, if it were a kandra) season isn't a good time for mountain camping.
