After another night of warm rain, it finally started to clear out this morning, though not until after we had packed up everything wet. The good news is, we have another short day of riding today, and the camp where we'll be arriving early will be our camp for the next two days. The forecast is for clear and sunny weather, so we're all excited about getting things dried out. More cold hard scrambled eggs for breakfast, more traipsing through wet and soggy swamp before reaching our new camp, which is the ranch of one of the wranglers. It's a beautiful place, and for once, each area is designated for each group, which makes it much more comfortable. Each group has it's own set of corrals, so we didn't have to fight over them. I kept getting different reports as to when the rain would stop, so we sat around under the awning of our circle boss' trailer again, hoping for a long enough break to get our tent up dry. Unfortunately, that never really happened, and though we had some very entertaining discussions with some of the other members of our group (at last, social activity within the group!), it was late when I set up the tent, so it was still pretty wet. I can't remember ever going to be with wet hair, on a wet pillow, in a wet tent, just wet all around. We had another dinner, though this one was actually pretty hot for a change, before heading to bed. The routine has become that, routine. Hard, but routine.
