OK, so my buddy has a little bikepacking trip scheduled for this weekend up around Cuyamaca / Mount Laguna / BLT area. I feel like I'm letting him down by not going. I'm worried about getting caught out there in the forecasted thunderstorms. Just the other week we were riding Skyline trail at Big bear and we got a taste of some thunder and lightening and I didn't really like it. Thing with bikepacking, there isn't really anywhere to go if you get caught out in it.
Anyone had a close call with lightening? I remember being in Colorado and it was hitting around the lake we were car camping at, we jumped in that car so fast. Gets a little freeky when there isn't much of a delay between the strike and boom.
So should I go anyway? am I being a wuss? I will be bummed if it turns out to just be a nice few sprinkles that knock the dust down.
