Got an early start today, though not as early as the Sundance Kid, who was gone by the time we woke up at 7. He left us a nice note, and we hope he made it to Moorcroft by the time this weather hit. And hit it has, concerned readers. We're sheltered in a gas station here in town and the rain is sideways and the lightning is right overhead. The power just went out, briefly. It's hard to know when to strike out for the next uncovered 30 miles when the forecast is for Iso T-Storms all day ("some storms may be severe") and the sky is gunmetal grey as far west as you can see.
We're surrounded by the ubiquitous Sturgis Rally 2011 gear -- do you know about Sturgis, Eastern readers? Google it. -- and drinking coffee and listening to colorful local banter. There is generic-sounding Nashville country on the radio, and we are stomping our cleated feet like nervous horses.
Ride On (as soon as the storm blows off).
I'm hoping the weather cleared soon after you posted this. Didn't see your post until 1pm your time. On The Weather Channel website, looks like the storm system has passed and is now in S. Dakota. Hopefully you will have a few nice days in front of you.
