Went camping this past Sunday at Housatonic Meadows State Park in Sharon, CT. According to our fellow campers, we just happened to miss a massive rain/hail/cats/dogs storm that deluged and swamped the campsite for a half-hour -- we had pitched our tent and gone up to the next town to check out a kayaking outfitter store. Luckily our tent was fine -- just a bit damp inside. On Monday, we drove up to West Cornwall to kayak a little on the river. We were there before 7 a.m., but the trout fishers had beaten us to it, as you can see.
