rainy rainy bear camping

so much rain. rain rain rain. i’m posting anyway. habits. i have a lot of time in my tent. my tent is dry (ish, damp) inside.. but i’m in a puddle. run-off. the river in the holler is flowing strong. i spent an hour digging trenches with a hoe today. . . it kinda helped. the first picture is after the trenches, but during the rain. the other pictures are before the trenches. i should have just moved my tent. . . but so many stakes!!! and hey, it’s not leaking. . . the car is though, that’s worrying. down through the light switch panel. wtf? ah well. . . the day was pretty pleasant. lots of petting big men. huuu. bears. lots of boiling in the hot tub. cooling in the big pool. i’ll try and sleep now. last night i went to sleep at this time. . . but woke at 3:30 to a downpour. . . didn’t sleep again til 5:30…. woke again at 11! my neighbor Nick didn’t fare so well: everything got soaked in his tent. he’s dried it out now and it set up better. he’s been cooking for us. he’s sweet. nice fella. goodnight.
