Easter Sunday, middle of Passover. Time for a hike on Sugarloaf Mountain, in Maryland.
The hike began uneventfully, a quiet walk up a small mountain on a hot April afternoon. Nice rocks, trees, the usual. After stopping for lunch a mile or so in, it began to rain gently. We continued.
Within minutes, we were sitting in the middle of full-blown thunderstorm, with flashes of nearby lightning.
We squatted under/near large rocks to avoid lightning strikes and tried to wait out the storm. The downpour accelerated.
We eventually decided to keep hiking in the rain, after being completely soaked. The rain stopped after a few minutes on the trail.
We hiked back to the car in the cool quiet, appreciating the clarity that follows a spring rainstorm in the forest.
