We are in beautiful Regina. It was 69 miles campsite to motel. We had 12 good miles before the rain hit. We have now discovered that there is no such thing as "breathable, waterproof Goretex". It is waterproof for 5 miles in a moderate rain or 10 miles in a light rain, but definitely NOT waterproof for 20 miles in a heavy rain. We are now at the laundromat again trying to get all three layers of clothes dry. Our next stop will be at a sporting goods store to find something that is truely waterproof.
We are watching the weather closely to determine what to do tomorrow. Right now they are saying rain and cold and NNW winds at 25-35 gusting over 40. That doesn't sound fun at all. Maybe we can sneak in a few miles down the road or maybe we will just hide under the covers.
