Cabin Fever

Hurricane Irene passed over head today, but we fortunately made it to a hotel just in time. We ended up having to stay here all day as torrential rain and wind raged outside. Luckily, this is one of those hotels with a restaurant/bar and a list of movie to rent...yea, we watched THREE today...That's more movies than I've seen in six months. It was a lazy day but very needed. I hate that this storm had to hit while my dad met me, but it has still been so fun to be together.

There has been some pretty extreme flooding across the Connecticut River Valley, and locals are saying they haven't seen stuff like this since 1985. Rivers are cresting left and right, and everyone at the hotel is stuck with flooded roads to our east and west. We are staying another night in the hotel. However, the weather is suppose to be very pretty tomorrow and flooding already peaked. We'll see what kind of shape the trails are in. It's all part of the adventure...onward and northward!
