May 23. Why does it always rain on me? A decision was made to be the only crew to spike out on the fire. After the excitement on the 22nd it rained on us hard and never stopped. The fire got soaked out and so did we. Most of the crew set up tents, a few dug down with their tools thinking they would move the wet soil away from the tent floor. In the morning they had water beds. Personally I slept in my seat in the buggies. Needless to say many of us didn't sleep to well.
