No storms here (NY near the Quebec border). I had planned another lean-to 
hike today and they predicted thunderstorms and downpours today. 'Cool', I 
thought, 'I'll finally get to give my Packa a good test'. But no. The charm 
is still working and we didn't get even a drop. In fact the sun came out 
around 2:30. I swear, all I have to do to stay dry is have that Packa in my 
pack.
