Day 3 - Stormchasing Lost Images - Seriously, Colorado is this much cooler than Kansas?!

Rich and I after we conquered the mountainous trek up Pike's Peak ... halfway anyway ... and in the Highlander.
Standing on the dam, looking at Pikes Peak. I swear I felt this thing shake.

Captain Morgan strikes one more time! Pike's Peak -- CONQUERED!

Day 2 - Storm Chasing Lost Images - How big is Kansas?!


Chalk Monuments as you come across the gravel roads and look over the fields.

Toyota, please feel free to reimburse me for this wonderful image of my Highlander handling the monuments with ease.
Captain Morgan and his evil twin strike again!
What a gorgeous and serene environment.

Day 2 took us from Concordia, Kansas, where we experienced our first and only tornado at about 1:30 in the morning to these magnificent monuments, aptly named, Monument Rocks; they're called the chalk monuments, too. Located about (5) miles off of 83, we had to drive down a gravel road and then a dirt road. Rich was so excited he could hardly wait! But, when we got there it was all worth it as there wasn't another soul in sight and we could explore as long as we wanted. One really can't see these rocks until you get right into the field, out in the middle of nowhere, and there isn't anything else like it anywhere close. Rich and I came up with an idea to compete with Crayola, but the specifics are still in the works. It was great weather as you can tell, blue skies and all!
