Have you ever gotten rained on while hiking? Did you push forward, or look for shelter to wait it out. The one time it happened to me, I had no choice but to push forward because there was no shelter anywhere I looked!

A few times I've gotten some rain while hiking. Florida summers tend to get rain showers. Usually a few minutes, 10-20 minutes, sometimes up to an hour. Rain has never bothered me, it is the lightening I'm worried about. I believe my area is number one for the country for lightning strikes.
I don't mind hiking during a shower, but if there's lightning, or it's a downpour, I'll try and look for shelter. I always have one of those inexpensive ponchos in my pack when I go for a hike and there's a chance of rain.
I am not a child anymore and I hate getting wet during hiking or trekking. But I did get some rain while trekking. It's not that bad as I used a raincoat, and it even made me feel less tired when walking uphill.
Rain is a blessing. I'm not deterred from hiking even if there is a rain. I only take shelter when there is lightning storm because that is really dangerous. But if its just water and not much wind then I will push forward.
Yes CFlyer, rain is a blessing unless it happens at 2 A.M. I forgot to mention that we trekked at night and it was pretty cool without the rain. It's not so bad as a curse though.
