This was the arrival day for the Tour 9 group, with guides Marcia Perez and Jenna Blum. We headed north from Denver to the Nebraska Panhandle, and found some storms along the Platte River Valley northeast of Dalton to around Lisco. The activity failed to impress. We watched from an abandoned house east of Dalton, and then killed a little time at Carhenge.
On June 30, we began in Kadoka, lunched in Wall, and watched some stuff struggle on the north side of the Black Hills near Spearfish. These cells never got very strong. I booked rooms in Kimball, SD (east of Chamberlain), in order to be closer to our target area around Sioux Falls the following day. On our way east after dusk, we were blasted by a severe squall at Murdo. Wind gusted over 65 mph and knocked down some utility poles in town, and the heavy rain and wind forced us to come to a stop in Murdo. I shot a little video of this severe electrical storm, but apparently took zero stills this day!
