That's what the weather geeks said. If it happened at all it would be before 1 PM with the rest of the day sunny. Wednesday through Friday we should expect heavy rain. With that in mind we took a day trip. We just wanted a free day to just goof around away from home. We started out for Llano by way of Fredericksburg. Not long after we left Fredericksburg we started hitting some pretty strong showers. It got bad enough I was down to 40 mph on a 70 mph highway. We could see that the direction we were headed it was just getting heavier/darker. Kim gets pretty nervous in stormy weather, plus more rain wouldn't be good for her shopping plans. So we turned back to home less than 20 minutes out from Llano. It was about 12:30 pm. We didn't get back home until just after 4 PM. That is a trip that shouldn't be much more than an hour.
We ran into even more rain and then by the time we hit Boerne ( pronounced burn-ee) schools were letting out. What a mess that was. Boerne is not a big town. But the traffic was a giant mess. Nearly 30 minutes to get through there to the back roads to our house. Then we had to turn around, twice on the back roads, due to high water and go an even longer way to get home. Kim was pretty nervous and was relieved to get home finally. I was glad to just be out of her car.
We will just wait and see how the weather is the rest of the week before we do that again. But since we were expecting more rain we hadn't made any plans.
Happy wet Trails

Smart idea... Hunker down and see what is happening, rather than blithely doing the 'normal' things.
