Got it after work just as a rotating wall cloud passed directly overhead! No tornado though as it moved eastward and eventually broke up. SL and TFTC

It's A Small World recently got her driver's permit, so we spent the day driving out here in the plains so she could practice pulling off the shoulder periodically. Coincidentally there happened to be a cache every time she pulled over. Strange how that happens.

Thanks for the fun hide and for your contribution to a memorable driver's training course.
