The bad weather caught up with me as I reached a smll stream basin at the base of a small cliff.
This seemed to be as good a place as any to wait out the storm. The rain started to come down,
so I donned my rain gear and parked my butt on my sit pad until the rain abated. As I sat on my
sit pad this is the view I had. Nature put on a nice show: rain, lightning, and thunder. Sadly,
I had to isolate myself from Joe Tripod (my assistant), as he was the largest metal thing with
me and I didn't want his electrical properties to attract a lightning bolt to me. He understood.

When the worst of the storm had passed over (and the lightning had stopped)
I hiked back to the parking lot of the Delicate Arch Viewpoint trail.

A few days later I sat in this very spot under a sunny sky: http://www.pbase.com/image/83953752 .
