Woke up this morning to a crazy thunderstorm that shook the hostel and torrential rain, so made up my mind to spend an extra day in the hostel. Once the first storm had passed I (probably stupidly) changed my mind and made a break
for it. First 10 miles to the next town was fine and then the heavens opened. Just had to put on some visible gear and deal with it. It wasn't very fun, which is pretty obvious by the fact I only took my camera out once all day. Met 2 more cyclists in Kurt Cobain's home town, Aberdeen, who were going the same way so I was glad I wasn't the only one having to deal with the weather. Met up with Eric
and Ashley in the campsite and we split a site. Then got invited over by the couple in the next site who had a tarp over their bench and hot drinks which was
very welcome. Their names were Daniel and Kirsten and turned out they had cycled all the way from Anchorage. It was a nice change having 5 people in camp and it was fun swapping stories before heading off to my tent which was starting to accumulate puddles.
