If it rains while camping and, I love to nap or listen to the rainfall.
Rain also goes with a good book and if there's thunder, BONUS!

I agree, We love our little Blackstone. The wife says everything tastes better on the Blackstone and they are just so easy to clean.
Never did rain where I am, although a lot of thunder in the distance at one point.

You can use your Blackstone for every type of meal. Fast an easy, tasty cause it is cooked outside while on Camp. Does not get any better than that. Enjoy the camp. See you on the trail.
Yea we fried potatoes last night to go with the steaks and they turned out perfect. Wish I would of bought one sooner
Make it 3- days in a row for rain, we got the big one late yesterday and no leaks, rain will not detour me again from going, but everything is soaked, giving it a couple of hours and breaking camp. Sunset pictures after the storm.

Well we survived the rain everyday and I had to pop it back up yesterday evening so it could dry out. Temp 94 and heat index 105 I liked to of had heat stroke, needless to say same temperatures today it ought to be baked out good. I fixed all the issues I found on the trip so it is time to close it up till October through November. I’m done camping in this heat. Times like this a travel trailer would be nice.

A bad day camping beats a good day at the office
Perfect example of why you still go during a bad forecast is yesterday, July 4th.
Forecast called for rain vitually all day, with 80+% in the morning, down to about 40% in the afternoon and then 30-ish % in the evening.
What actually happened:
Morning was indeed a washout. The local 4th parade was delayed an hour, and even 30 minutes before the new start time (11am), it was looking like awful weather for a parade. Then suddenly the rain stopped and the sun came out.
Other than being a little steamy out, picture perfect parade weather. And we didn't get a drop of rain the rest of the day. Hot and humid, yes. But we had a great 4th.

Well, we had rain every day of the week. Some days just a little, some a lot. It was mostly predictable but I did get drenched one evening when the storm snuck up on us.
@Tarkus --- about the thunder, that implies lightning. And we had lightning. Like the Olympian Gods were angry with us. Whiz-boom right past the trailer. And it hit/destroyed a tree about 75 yards from us.
