Wet Hiking, Dry Racing


The last day lingering about north central Arkansas stood out as mostly overcast, with temperatures generally in the low 20s °C.  A visit to the familiar Woolly Hollow seemed the best course of action for the late morning.  It was not supposed to rain.  However, the weather can often have a mind of its own.   5 km along an 8 km hike it decided to dump its load of cold and windy on the vicinity.  Without a canopy, there was nowhere to turn. The whole instance only lasted about 10 minutes, just sufficient to soak all the way through and make the remainder of the journey rather squishy.


Prior to the deluge, there were multiple opportunities to enjoy solitude among the forest, contemplating things larger than life itself.


The rain turned out as a mostly isolated incident too, having no impact on plans for the evening.  The skies cleared up again, temperatures returned to a relatively normal state, and the Spring Nationals at Batesville Motor Speedway went off exactly as planned.
