Hiking with Dollie Llama
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008I invited a group of friends to go hiking with me and Dollie Llama herself at the Wadhams/Avoca Rail Trail just outside of Port Huron, Michigan. As we arrived at the trailhead, I saw a beautiful blue sky, and the temperature was just perfect. I unpacked the food and Dollie. I spent some time brushing and combing Dollie. I no sooner finished, than the sky turned black and it started to rain hard, so I hurried Dollie back into her trailer and took shelter in the gazebo. The rain came down in sheets. I said to myself that it will stop soon; it doesn’t rain that hard for very long. Just then, the hail started. The hail came down the size and shape of ice cubes; I’ve never seen anything like it. At least it didn’t cause any damage to my truck or trailer. I said to myself that it can’t get any worse than this. Just then, the hail stopped and the rain started up again. It turned so windy that the rain was coming sideways, and I got wet under the gazebo. At least Dollie was fine in her trailer. Finally, it stopped. My friends came anyway, and we had a lovely hike. That Michigan weather sure is something else.
