Default Another weekend and rain again

I guess I shouldn't complain at least my house isn't under 20 feet of water like a lot of them are along the Mississippi River. With it raining on Saturday I used the afternoon to plot out a ride on MapQuest that I'll download into the GPS. I'll take back roads and lead a club ride to Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello in Charlottesville, VA. We'll tour Monticello then jump over the mountains and spend the night in the Shenanadoh Valley. Saturday night we'll go to a small Christian coffee house then tour Shenanadoh Caverns on Sunday. This is planned for the first weekend in June if it stops raining. Maybe I should trade the Ultra for a down payment on an Arc and start collecting animals.

I Hope you get to dry out a bit and keep dry for the ride. The ride sounds like it would be a blast. I am into history so the trip to Monticello would be fun. Have fun Ride safe. Let me know if you need an arc I think someone has one up here from our flooding in Wisconsin in '08.

I've been to Monticello a couple of times. Jefferson's inventions facinate me plus the house and grounds are beautiful.
