seems there was no rain since i asked for pictures or you've been too lazy to grab camera after fresh rain :D
It rained here this morning. I am heading out for offroading in the forests of Pennsylvania later, so I am hoping for no more rain, actually.
please take camera along and share when you are back home safely, ride & drive safe ! Bon Voyage
