This is a self portrait from the first night of the Wild Ride tour. We set up out tents and and about 2 hours later an epic storm blew over us. We ran into our tents and all laid in them, watching the constant lighting, incredible thunder, and pounding rain hit our thin nylon membranes. Only a fraction of an inch to protect your from the wrath of mother nature... Thankfully, stakes held out, and lighting did not venture my way.
Just when you thought the storm was subsiding, a terrible clap of thunder would launch us up a few inches off the ground, and the rain would start up again with renewed tenacity. One of the worst storms I ever had to be so close to, and one of the best times in my life.
