Called for Weather

So I hear from the natives that it never rains here in July or August.

Except, apparently, when I want to take my kid on his first overnight trip. The Weather Channel tells me there is a 60% chance of thunderstorms tonight.

Considering I’m trying to teach him to enjoy backpacking, I think this trip needs to be postponed. (If this venture did not involve Trailhead Kid, I’d say to hell with it and go anyway.)

Jeez, who do I have to kill to get a night in the backcountry? It hasn’t exactly worked out this summer.
