Weather Predictions
Naturally, as soon as we decided to stay the extra day we checked out the weather again and the nasty stuff was out of the forecast. Oh well! We do the best we can with the tools we have. We'd be kicking ourselves if we ignored the warnings and then got clobbered.
Today we drove the 280 miles to Mitchell, SD home of the Corn Palace. We've been here before so no need to see the Palace again. But we do like this KOA and the mileage here is decent. It wouldn't have been too bad except we were naughty last night and stayed up til midnight watching the Angels beat the Yankees in 10 innings, 7-6. It was a great!!! game!!! Then today we faced powerful winds on the road and lots of construction with two-way traffic. So the drive was tiring.
We got a late start and finaly pulled in here at the KOA at 5 PM, pretty late for us. Oh, we also changed time today so we lost an hour. But we are safe, the weather is good at the moment, the Angels are in first place, and dinner is heating up. All's well that ends well :)
