Cold Rain

No doubt what's going to happen

It had rained late yesterday evening and again through the night and into the early-morning hours; so we weren't surprised when, about a mile into our hike, the sky opened up again and the precipitation poured down.  Within several hundred yards we were soaking wet from cold rain.  Because we were already drenched there was no need to cut our trek short, so we didn't.  

Can we avoid the rain?

Not pineapples, but Barrel Cactus fruit

Looking pretty iffy to the southwest

I wanted to see if this Jackrabbit was as wet as Becca

It seemed pretty wet
