There are times when I wish we could control mother nature but alas that power does not reside within my grasp. This, of course, makes camping or any sort of outdoor activity a bit stressful when nature does not cooperate and the skies open up and release rain all over all beautiful outdoor weekend.
There is only so much you can do to prepare. You can bring rain coats and shelter. Waterproof containers to keep all of your food and supplies dry but not everything goes according to plan.
