Wow - yesterday...

So, my last post yesterday was at 11:30pm, and even though we went to bed at that time, it was a little hard to sleep with all the rain falling.  For me, anyway.  Not that there's anything to worry about, but I kind of wanted to see how long this was going to go on!  I got up at 1:15am and it was still raining, but at 2:40am I noticed that it wasn't raining anymore.  So, must have fallen asleep in there somewhere, so not sure when it quit.  But if it quit at say, 1:30am, that was 14 hours of practically non-stop rain!

We didn't hear any rock slides during the night, although there are some decent sized rocks on the road where the old landslide happened.  It wasn't a major slide like the last time, but there are enough rocks of a good size to make it impossible for a car to pass through there.

It has been cloudy all day, but the radar looks ok, so we decided to go to the little restaurant here for lunch.  As we walked to the restaurant, which is less than a quarter of a mile away, we both realized we forgot to bring our umbrellas!  Now that's risky around here!  We had a good lunch and then, since the weather seemed to be holding out, we decided to walk along the stream to see if we could see the Dipper again, so that Guillermo can say he's seen it.  Success!!  As we walked along, we saw a little bird that looked just like the one I had seen several weeks ago.  It dipped up and down as it went along the rocks and would hang precariously along the edge of the rocks to peer into the water.  I was so happy that Guillermo finally got to see the resident Dipper!

Now it only made itself available to see because we didn't have binoculars or a camera with us!!  ;-)
