Charlie: I’ve seen more water in four days here than in the last five years in New Mexico. We crossed dozens of streams and walked by good sized rivers. I love running water, who doesn’t, and it has been a joy to see and hear so much water.
Of course some of it is falling from the sky, and some even in frozen form but I still love it. Our gear has been great. The rain jacket breathes pretty well and keeps me dry and warm. My waterproof shoes are waterproof. I have rain pants but I have not used them as the rain has all been light. One time my pants got wet but they dried in 30 minutes as I was wearing them. These new fabrics are amazing. We have rain covers for the packs which are essential.
