Day 5 - rain, pain, some gain, still playin, were stayin, not complainin

60 miles, 5-3/4 hours, 11 degrees
Today had it's moments. The scenery was fantastic. The road was quiet because it is Saturday. But it was cold all day and it rained on and off. Lisa is really struggling to stay warm enough. She is using those little chemical warmers in her gloves and shoes but at times she is doing it real tuff. Other than that everything is great.
We have camped tonight at a beautiful place called sunset beach. We arrived at about 4.30 and went for a walk up onto the point. For the first time in 2 days we saw the sun. Bonus. We cooked a nice pasta meal and had a fire. We crawled into the tent around 9.00pm. Just as it got dark. We are hoping that it doesn't rain overnite so that we don't have to pack up wet. Guess what. Just as I typed that last sentence it started raining. Bugger. I keep telling Lisa that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Still beats working.
