Motorcycles at midnight!

It was inevitable. After all it is late September. 

We went to bed last night after watching the Oregon Ducks defeat the Arizona Wildcats, 56-31.  As we nestled into Sadie's queen memory foam bed, ready for a good night's rest, we heard motorcycles roaring about the park.

At first I thought, "Well, somebody is coming home from an outing; they'll quit pretty soon."  But the racket continued.  Soon, we noticed that Sadie was doing a bit of a dance.  That's when we realized that what we thought were motorcycles was actually the sound of the wind howling over, under, and around Sadie's superstructure and the luggage rack and AC units on her roof. 

It had been windy in the evening, but it seemed to increase at bedtime. I actually slept pretty well, and when I awoke, I discovered that the rain had begun coming down pretty heavily.  When I got up, I checked the weather report and discovered that the winds had been 20-30 mph, with gusts to 45!  Thunderstorms are predicted this morning, and then the weather is expected to moderate, although rain is in the forecast for the next couple of days. 

As Jill pointed out, we have been incredibly blessed with good weather on this trip.  No rain dampened our spirits or our activities until now, and tomorrow we will be headed for home.  We thank the Lord for a safe, exciting, fun trip and excellent weather.

Hmmm... where are the map and the calendar?  When and where will we go next in our Travels with Sadie?
