A modest beginning

Day 1 - 197 miles

Greetings from Enid OK. Arwen tells me this is where Reba Mcintyre comes from. Somehow I'm not surprised... They love that twang in OK.

Landed in Wichita early afternoon. Rented a nice "hail-catcher." Set up radios, antennas etc... then hung around scenic SW Wichita.... (sarcasm)

Warren and friend were on their way down from Salina KS. At the time It seemed that I couldn't have picked a better place to land. If there was going to be any thing happening, Wichita was where it would be. So I sat,... and waited...

We hooked up. Traveled west on 400 into Cheney KS for some visibility and parked. Chatted it up with the locals (Warren's chase rig always gets attention - it is impressive) Then we bailed... Turns out a storm fired north of Wichita late in the afternoon. But it was nothing special... (the real action was in Iowa - way out of pocket)

Tomorrow looks like a similar day. We shot south to position ourselves. Blue skies ahead. I'm researching road side attractions. The tackier the better. Suggestions welcome.

Tomorrow is not too promising. We'll see. Food rest... good night.
