Caught in a downpour wasn't so bad

We've been doing a lot of hiking during the past week or so. The other day we decided on an impromptu stop at Jockey Cap in Fryeburg on our way to North Conway.

Clouds started to move in while we were looking for a geocache on the trail but thought we had plenty of time before the rain started. We were wrong and got caught in the downpour.

The kids decided we should go to a cave we saw earlier on the trail and hang out there. It turned out to be a fun place for a snack to wait out the rain.

The rain only lasted about 10 minutes and then the sky cleared. We made our way back up to the top and enjoyed the view and the interesting map of the mountains (one of the best I've seen on a trail so far).

I have a very similar of Greg and the boys in that very same cave. No rain involved, but it was a great photo op. The kids loved checking it out.

The cave is a hit with the kids everytime we go to Jockey Cap. The difference on this trip was that I hadn't actually squeezed my 6-foot tall frame in there until now! But I must admit that it was fun and the kids were pleased I hung out inside with them.
