We left Sundance thinking we might stop somewhere in the eastern part of South Dakota. We did stop but only for a few fireworks.

The weather was fine until we hit Windom and then the clouds thickened, darkened, and the wind picked up. We turned on the radio to a Mankato station as the kids said there were tornado sirens going off in Mankato. We ended up pulling off into St. James and parking in the community camp ground. A couple tents were already overturned. We even had to close our vents because of the force of the wind and rain.

After 20 minutes or so, we could see sunlight in the west. However, the closer we got to Mankato, the more it darkened again in the southwest. I took a couple pictures of the storm and the strange clouds we saw. It is hard to wean myself from the camera.

Anyway, this is probably the last post for the blog. Thanks for riding along.
