sigh<\/em>. \u00a0It took 20 minutes to get out in front of it, and by then I was pretty wet. \u00a0Another win for Mother Nature.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/redrideraz.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/Road-15-2-1024x717.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The skies ahead looked promising. \u00a0High clouds vs low clouds and much more light coming through them. \u00a0Bonus – the road is dry.<\/p>\n

These folks are cleaning up from tornado damage. \u00a0Looks like a double wide that was split in half and demolished.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This little piggy decided to put up a stick built home. \u00a0The remains of their trailer are behind the pile of fallen trees on the left. \u00a0There was other tornado damage in the town as well. \u00a0I’m so glad I don’t live in tornado alley with The Big Bad Wolf.<\/p>\n
Do not despair, the whole day wasn’t rain and tornado damage….<\/p>\n

He’s cute for sure. \u00a0My wife could probably tell you what kind of horse you need to breed with that black mare to have a chance to get a foal that color.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Then there was this little guy. \u00a0When I came around the corner there was a doe in the road. \u00a0She continued across and this fawn came out behind her. \u00a0I stopped the bike so he could go any direction safely. \u00a0I thought one of his legs might be broken by the way he was walking but he was fine – he just wasn’t old enough to know how to use his legs – a newborn for sure. \u00a0His mom went through a hole in the fence but he missed the hole. \u00a0He bumped his nose against the fence then curled up, hiding until his mom could return for him. \u00a0I was tempted to go somewhere out of sight and see how long it took her to come back – but I had to be satisfied with the encounter.<\/p>\n
Other than a few sprinkles, the rest of the ride was dry, and by the end of it, I was in the sunshine and totally dried out. \u00a0From what I hear on the weather channel (about the only thing I watch on these rides) the rest of my ride will likely be hot and dry. \u00a0Not my favorite but cold and wet is absolutely the worst. \u00a0Until tomorrow…….<\/p>\n
