Beat Feet !

[Rip Tide]

... A rainstorm coming down off the mountain. Wow says I, I need to take a picture of that.
Next thing you know, 50 MPH winds, 2 foot white caps.

We weren't so bad off in our float tubes, but those folks that were in canoes were holding on for their lives.
So the moral to the story is, when you see something that looks like this, BEAT FEET.

Rip
That's a pretty impressive storm! I'd definitely be beating feet.

Pretty lake!
I've had dreams of getting turned over in my belly boat from white caps. I have never come close but have had the bejezus scared out of me.

We had this sort of stuff plow through my bit of southern Oregon yesterday AM. Rain coming down in sheets, constant wind of about 25 mph with gusts to 40.

Rode it out once in a canoe, early may in Algonquin Provincial Park. Sure did tighten the sphincter till we made it to shore.

Neat photos, Rip Tide.

Definitely time to ride out of Dodge.

So true. Keep your eyes on the sky and head in at once when the voice in your head says to. The times I have ignored the voice, I've regretted it.
