The rain started before sunrise. I should have covered
the saddle. Pack during a break in the rain. After a quick meal in
town I climb out of this old volcano. Yes the lakes in this region are in
old volcanoes. Just a few light rain showers as I work my way through the
hills. Avoid some heavy rain in a bus shelter. Find lunch at 5 and
the rain has picked up. Only twenty miles to the lago were there is a
camp ground. In the driving rain I push on. Drivers hurry past to
get their cars out of the rain. They do try to wash the mud off me that
the car before sprayed me with. I find a caravan parking area and take
high ground which is a few inches above the rest of the parking area that is a
lagoon. An hour later I have most of the water off me and the gear.
Part of the sleeping bag got wet, so it was cool damp night. But for some
reason I fell asleep quickly. You should feel sorry for me as I am
biking in Tuscany
