Mike and Ken went off yesterday to visit Greensburg, ks, this was the town that was wiped out by a huge tornado a year ago. YouTube that if you want a good scare.
Karina and I stayed put. Two nice girls, Both named Jamie, played and swam with Karina all day long. Last night they had a sleepover at their tent, watched a video, etc. Karina got bit by a dog, which was a little bit of a bummer, but she is a trooper and everything is fine.
We had planned to to to the movies last night, but, guess what? Here's a hint: it was 109 degrees during the day. Yep, storm chaser! Tried to get some photos. Anyhow, even though all the conditions were very ripe, we got lucky again. The lightening was like what you see in one of those glass balls at the science museums,only you'd be in the ball!
A little rain this morning, slow start, the folks keep coming in and the event keeps on going!

Pete,
ReplyDeleteThis is John Button in California. Just caught up with your trip. Your story thus far is way cool! Congrats! And an even bigger congrats to Karina!
Looking ahead at your route, on my motorcycle I've ridden all of your roads through CO, UT, NV and CA. Very cool stuff! You'll be seeing some fabulous country. And after the Rockies it will be much drier and likely cooler than what you've dealt with to date.
Looks like you are taking Rt 50 in NV. That's known as the "Loneliest Road in America". Pickup a "survival kit" in Ely. Karina will have one more memento of the trip.
You reach the California coast way north of where I live now (Paso Robles on the Central Coast) but maybe I can use you as an excuse and meet up around Yosemite on my (no pedals) bike.
All the best,
John
