White Mountains: Rain in June and July - 2008

THERE WAS SO MUCH RAIN IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS IN JUNE AND JULY THIS YEAR THAT:

The Dry River Wilderness was cited for false advertising;

Two miles of the Davis Path were determined to be Class 2 rapids;

Several sections of the AT were posted with rip tide warnings;

The Coast Guard installed channel markers in the sag between Davis and Stairs Mountains;

Noah almost re-floated the Ark to pick up some Trail Adopters, but finally decided that he didn’t want to deal with weird animals again;

The “African Queen” was seen moored at the intersection of Davis Path and Stairs Col Trail;

And finally,

DeLucia starting wearing a diver’s wet suit to work.
(What? You say he wears that every Friday?)

Never mind.
