Rain Finally!

Hallelujah! I woke up this morning to the sound of solid rain hitting my window. To a lot of people this might not seem like cause for celebration. But to an outdoorsman, and extreme athlete, this is music to my ears. Especially here in California where we've had one of our driest winters yet. Beyond the basic need for water, there are so many reasons why we here at Adventure Out would like to give thanks for today's big dumping rainstorm:
-Rain gives surfers new sandbars.
-Rain makes our rivers flow, and gives us fly-fishers a better stealhead season.
-Rain means snow in the mountains... and snow means FUN FUN FUN (skiing, snowboarding, snow camping, snow-shoeing, etc, etc).
-Rain means great waterfalls next summer in Yosemite!

The list goes on. Why do you love rain?
