We left Twin Falls, Idaho, early this morning because we knew a storm was brewing on the horizon. When we hit the road the clouds were already forming to create a massive storm. Checking in with the national weather forecast was our only indication that we were going to miss the heavy stuff, at least until we got there. We still were accompanied by rain most of the drive to Yellowstone and I think God must have been walking on his shag carpet and creating sparks because lighting bolts were exploding in the distance followed by the deep rumble of thunder.
Its amazing to see all around you when you have so much sky to observe. No buildings, no tall trees, nothing in your way to see the horizon all around you. On the one side the gray clouds getting together to form a massive storm cloud. On the other side blue skies and a few clouds.
We finally arrived in Montana, the 19th state of our travels.
After a quick bite to eat and a walk around town we decided to head back to Road Hazard and enjoy the beautiful sunny skies while they lasted. To the southeast the storm clouds were building and this storm looked worse than the one that followed us most of the trip. We were able to sit outside in our lounge chairs for an hour and enjoy the hot sun before the thick black clouds covered up the hot ball in the sky.
Hold on tight because the storm that hit us brought with it hail the size of peas. The ground looked like it was covered in a light dusting of snow. The hail came down sideways and bounced off Road Hazard creating a symphony of percussion sounds inside with every hit. In the span of only a few hours we experienced Rain then Sun Shine and then Hail. The only thing missing is Snow. Tonight they are expecting the temps to drop to 25 degrees. All I can think of is, why are we here?
