I have spent time naked in nature, the woods of East Texas in childhood, to the desert here in Nevada where I picked it up again, also in 2007.
Loved the rain sequence. I have experienced two types of monsoon rains. The warm ones that fall from the low clouds through the heated air over the desert and the truly heavy rains from those towering thunderclouds that start out warm and as the water cools the air become a chilled shower from the super cooled water at high altitudes. It's weird to have such cold water hitting you while in a hot environment.
Nice story!
