van&#8217;s tires rotated during lunch in Lamar.\u00a0 I think this was the day that we hung out at Adobe Creek Reservoir during the early afternoon, waiting quite impatiently for storm towers to appear.\u00a0 This reservoir is north of Las Animas, and amenities include fly-and-mosquito infested facilities.\u00a0 A cumulonimbus went up to our north-northwest, and we parked ourselves east of it on Route 94 in Lincoln County, about 7 miles west of Aroya.\u00a0 The storm had a high base and featured occasional long and photogenic precipitation shafts.\u00a0 The storm moved east-southeast and was outflow dominant.\u00a0 We stayed ahead of it by dropping south on 287 to Eads, and then east on 96 to Chivington and Brandon.\u00a0 By the time the storm reached Brandon, in Kiowa County, its updraft sported impressive laminar banding.\u00a0 It was about sunset at this point, and tornado potential appeared nil.\u00a0  We drove into an empty quonset hut west of Sheridan Lake hoping to get hammered by large hail, but we only had a heavy dump of small hail.<\/p>\n<p>In image 9760 below (8th image) an outflow feature makes a decent tornado imitation.\u00a0 This was near Chivington.<\/p>\n<p>Our hungry group found a nice place to eat in Granada, CO.\u00a0 It was a fancy steak restaurant with a fancy name:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"resto_section\">Chez W Du Vall&#8217;s<\/h2>\n<p>We arrived shortly before closing time&#8212;10 p.m.\u00a0\u00a0 We were turned away, however, by the staff, as they wanted to go home.\u00a0 We went back to Lamar again for the night for another forgettable dinner.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"090612_9739_aroya_co\" rel=\"lightbox[pics2598]\"
