Hail......Yes!

When we entered South Dakota on Wednesday, we felt like our trip "Out West" had begun. I've never been to SD and Ed hadn't been through that part before. We stayed at our first KOA campground near Belvidere, about halfway across the state on I-90.

We could see a huge storm ahead of us and finally ran into some rain - or it ran into us. The wind blew so hard from the South that it blew water under all the windows on the driver's side of the coach. I ran and got towels to stuff in the window channels. Just as we arrived at the campground, hail the size of chickpeas started.
That cooled the temperature from 98 to the 60's in a hurry.
These clouds appeared after the storm was over.

Great pictures and story to go along with them. My wife and I just moved to Terry, Montana to be near our grand children and love our new life style. We owned a RV when our kids were growing up and used it to show them all the great sights across the US.

We assist our daughter Inger and her mother-in-law with the Badlands Cafe and Scoop Shoppe in Terry. I serve food and Tammy makes runs to the stores to keep the supplies coming.

Stop by and visit the Terry Badlands when you get into our neighborhood in Eastern Montana.
