Duck hunting and cold rain to Savannah

We got up about 5:30 am and a couple friends, Bucky and Robert, were there as well as Brads dad. I didn't take a shotgun since I wanted everyone to come out alive but they lent me enough camo that I wouldn't scare the ducks off. It was raining so I had my rain gear on under the camo. It was warm and drizzly as we all took positions around the water. Robert got stuck with me and I parked it where I could see the action, but not scare the ducks off. It was really peaceful with the soft rain, the thick swamp and warm air. Brad and Bradley got a couple wood ducks and Bucky got a shot off at one that Brad had missed. I duck hunted a million years ago, but it was always 12 ga shotguns and the bird much higher. Here in close quarters, they use 20 ga shotguns that are much evolved from the ones we had on the farm. The shooting was all over in a couple hours and we went back to camp and had a big feed of sausage, eggs, grits, toast and coffee. What a great way for a 12 year old to grow up.
So I suited up for rain and Bradley escorted me down the now wet dirt road in case I dropped the big 800 pounder, but it was sand so not too slippery.
It was drizzly but my rain stuff kept me dry for the morning. I headed south toward Myrtle Beach and as I got close, the rain picked up, the traffic got bad and the road got real slippery. I decided these last 2 were a bad combo and would probably be what I would face all down the coast, so I turned around and headed west on another small 2 laner until I hit rt 95 (superslab). It would not stop raining no matter how many times I said "this sucks" so I stayed on 95 with the cruise control at 70 until finally the sky opened and it stopped raining at about 1pm. By this time, I was getting a little damp so I stopped for coffee to figure out the next move. The cold front was swinging in and there was rain below Savannah and aso to the west of me so I rode as far south as I could before the rain started again just south of Savannah. I got a room at 4:30 and took in the shower to get my body temp back to normal (wet and cold for hours). I walked to a chain pub place (Hooligans?), sat at the bar and had a tall beer (walking back) and a burger. I chatted up a retired railroad guy heading for Florida from NJ. Back to the room to sleep. Looks like tomorrow morning it is going down into the 40's so I have everything hanging up drying tonight. Back on the 95 slab in the morning.
