Well how about that. When I woke up there was a spectacular sunrise. What I didn’t know was that there were heavy thunderstorms coming.
BRAN recommended everyone shelter in the high school. We had biscuits and gravy for breakfast and waited.
And waited…
Finally word came there were a few riders who dared try it and ended up stranded in a small village on the route. Then someone showed me an image taken by a BRAN sag volunteer that showed a smoking field just after a lightning strike. That was enough convincing evidence to make me believe that riding was a bad idea.
Busses came and hauled us to Arlington. It was muddy and gooey where I had parked the 4Runner. What a mess! I had to put it in 4x4 to get it out.
The bikes and baggage had to be shipped from Oakland separately because the had to use the same semi tractor and trailer for the job. This took quite some time.
Then it was on East towards home.
This will be the last BRAN “Notes From The Tent” Thanks for reading! Tomorrow is Fathers Day and I will be taking the day off from the blog.
Look for more BRAN stories next week…..With images!!

I figured Father's Day was today as well, but it's next weekend. Feels odd cuz the first three weeks of this June are the full 7 days.
