[QUOTE="John Sikora, post: 509567, member: 38216"] I thought about that as well, but in the end my poncho didn't weigh that much and in a perverse sense walking in three days of off and on and occasional pouring rain was one of the best parts. Story in point: 1) Standing under a tree (but no lightning, just pouring buckets of rain) 2) Dutch speaking (no English) couple shares the tree. 3) We both look up at the rain, whine a bit in our own languages. Sometimes you don't need a translation 4) Rain comes down harder 5) Pilgrim walks by, looks at us, and yells "Pilgrims are invincible and waterproof!!" and proceeds to disappear over the next hill. 6) Dutch couple and I look at each other, step out of the tree area, and just keep walking. That doesn't happen on a sunny day. And once you get wet, you can't get wetter. BTW, I did take a taxi for about 5 miles during a bad thunderstorm. Rain is one thing, being stupid about taking a risk is another. In most areas, taxis are pretty available. Cost is not that bad when you consider the other options. Also depending on the route, there may be a bus available. [/QUOTE]
