Hail

We took a day off yesterday. Dana did some laundry and I did a number of little repairs around the RV which I'd been putting off. Also washed the truck from the day before's trip over a couple of gravel roads. When all that house hold stuff was out of the way, we headed into Hill City,SD, to look around stores. Lots of neat shops around here. We ended up at a DQ for a cone and noticed that the thunder heads were rising high and fast. We hurried back to the RV and some open windows just in time. A thunder and lightening storm hit and hail began to fall. The largest hail was about golf ball size, and fell early in the storm. As things continued, the hail became smaller in size and more plentiful. Inside the RV was almost like being inside a drum. I was sure some damage was occurring, but when the storm passed, everything seemed fine. The hail stones felt light, as if they had air in them. Storms of this nature are apparently fairly common in this area of the Black Hills.
We head for Loveland, Co., today, about a 400 mile ride. Dana's sister Marion and her family and her brother Kevin moved out there from Jersey about two years ago.
