Day 67 - The Grey

I was able to get a new wall charger for my USB corded devices at walmart. Its a good thing too as I was on my last battery for the phone which acts as my contact, navigation, and music device. I found a laundromat in town and got everything cleaned and charged which left me in town until 4pm. No worries, I figured I'd just do some really late night riding today.

Not an hour out of town everything turned to fog and cold drizzle. For the first time in my tour (not counting an hour I wore my rain pants in Sooke) I had to wear something other than shorts! I tossed on my long johns under the shorts (which looked pretty silly) and tolerated the cold wetness for another hour or so until the fog started rolling in really thick and I came across a rest area. The lure of a warm sleeping bag and some time to read was too much as well as the dangers of night riding in thick fog, so I set up camp over a small hill behind a tree and got out of the cold. I've made pretty good time the past few days so I don't feel too bad about taking a half day. I hope this fog goes away...
