My 2023 Oregon/California Trails journey started in a downpour. I always wondered how I would handle an all day rain event on Silvia. Now I know. We battled rain for 9 hours, before it stopped for the last 3 hours.

My Frogg Toggs rain gear worked great but I tried every pair of gloves I had and they all leaked. My boots worked pretty well also. But my quest for good rain gloves continues.

I don't really have video of today because I had to concentrate on the highway. I was exhausted by the end of the day.

But stay tuned as tomorrow I reach the beginning of the Oregon Trail and Silvia and I start following the trail the following day.
