Plan B

We had the whole day open and we were ready to hit some new water.  We talked about going up to Lake Geneva, but didn't feel we had the time to take on the whole lake in one shot... so we looked towards the Rock River in Rockford.  We picked out our put in, checked the weather and loaded up. 

There were bad storms on the radar, but they were way out at the Iowa border and headed northeast slowly.  With the 6 hour prediction on the radar, I didn't see it hitting Rockford.  We made the hour trip out to the river and hit rain about 45 minutes in.  We were in and out of rain till we got there and the sky looked nasty once we saw the river.  The wind was steady, it was chilly, and the sky looked unpredictable.  As much as I wanted to be on that water, I had to call the trip off.  Instead, we spent the day at the childrens museum. Sometimes 'Plan B' works out better than the original plan could have ever been.
