I was rained on during two of my camping trips over the past year - a backpacking trip to Redwood National Park and a night at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. I got drenched both times; even after learning from my mistakes in the Redwoods, a rip in our tent at Calaveras meant that I was soaked overnight anyways.

On the bright side, though, the rain came with absolutely ethereal foggy conditions. Though I don't usually enjoy shooting in the fog (wet equipment, fuzzy focus) or dense forests (messy foregrounds, waving leaves), both parks were absolutely stunning.
