Truro to Yarmouth

We left Truro Saturday morning, in foggy damp weather in the 50's. By afternoon it warmed up to the upper 50's and we even got a glimpse of the sun. We rolled into Yarmouth around 4:30 and stopped for gas. As Cleve was pumping, I mentioned that I heard thunder. He ignored it and said no it was just cars crossing the bridge near-by. I then said that I saw lightening and he said no, it wasn't lightening. We began to look for our hotel, "The Midtown", and had some trouble fining the street. It began to rain a bit, as I went into an information building to get directions. Cleve was very uncertain about this place, because when he made the reservations, the man on the phone said "you want to stay here?" It was pouring by the time I came out and we went on to find the place in a torrent of rain, thunder and lightening. We did not take the time to put our rain gear on, so by the time we found it we were soaked! From the outside the place did not look so good, but as we found out with our last room at the Rainbow motel, sometimes they look better inside. So, Cleve asked for a key to just look at the room. He came back to the office and nicely said we'd be movin'on! We left two big puddles of water behind!! So, we continued riding through the storm and found a nice motel nearby, the Lake Lawn Motel, in Yarmouth. After settling in, we took a long walk to pick up dinner and wine and returned to the room to have our dinner.

Unpacking for the night- see Ranger Rick? He had a rough time weathering the storm
