Default Bakersfield swap meet today Q..

Did anyone make it to this meet?
Got up 4:30 AM to leave for 100 mi trip..over the 'grapevine' (snowy?).
Raining bucket fulls then/now! And , has been raining such ever since in wet lalaland! Very rare and needed rain....and rare/unusual THUNDER claps as I type!
Just feeling that I missed out and wondered if any brave souls attended and got any treasures

Drove from El Segundo and got there at 8AM. It started to rain pretty heavily and got pretty windy at the same time.
The three of us stayed about two and a half hours and left. It was still raining pretty good.
The number of vendors was about 1/3 of what is usually there.
It is supposed to be clear on Saturday, but I am sure the mud and puddles will still be there. As always, swap meets have treasures buried somewhere. I didn't find any in the all the rain.

II arrived shortly after seven. Rain and wind came about 7:45. I bought some goodies and was back in my car at 8:15.
