I have to wait until the end of the day. Have to work. Plus, I am riding down with a couple of friends, so I have to wait for them. It will really suck if I have to set up my tent not only in the dark, but also in the rain.

Well, it's not like I'm getting out of work early or anything and with how the weather's looking, I'm basically getting the best of both of those scenarios!
