For a western camper, the ultimate experience in the outdoors only happens a handful of times per year. So writing about it makes more sense than writing about anything else.
It rained a couple times during the night. In the morning I awoke to a different planet. Since I was on the top of the mountain near an inland town, the clouds seemed like dense ground fog on the Pacific Coast. Walking around in 100% relative humidity is not something that happens often. It isn't just the imagination that sees the air as a thick vaporous, analgesic unguent. So tangible, gentle, and kind!
There were even puddles on the road, if you can believe a 'whopper' like that.

And yet there were brighter spots in the sky. The amperage in the solar controller confirmed it. Soon it became sunnier and I was walking around in a state of calm euphoria.
If that isn't great enough, maybe the rain had wrung the smoke out of the sky. (It is that time of year.)
