We expected storms to be similar to the previous day – and that’s about exactly what we got. Enough moisture and lift was able to generate storms in the mountains of southwest Texas… some of the storms became severe and produced hail and gusty winds. Our day would have ended up below our expectations… but as we were rolling in toward Fort Stockton near sunset, we were treated to a great lightning display that everyone was able to take advantage of. The display easily pushed the day over to a good one. The only other interesting part of the day was Gareth getting introduced to a Texas State Trooper near Alpine. The meeting wasn’t a bad one and he was let off with a friendly warning and some advice to watch his speed.
