    Weather concerns 6/20-6/22

    When I left SJPDP last Saturday, the weather forecast expected rain/thunderstorms, but it was sunny and warm. It will be a game day decision which route to take. Unless you’re prone to being cold, gloves are definitely not necessary on the Camino in late June. The lowest it’s been all week was...
