Day 8 - 1816 miles

With a cold front pushing down from the north west we awoke in Boise City OK and made our way down to into Texas to camp out for most of the day in Dalhart. With MCS boundaries pushing north and the front coming down, lot's of instability and shear, we were hopeful that the cumulus field above us would push up a tower.

Forecasts were calling for storms to fire farther west in New Mexico and to the south near Clovis. But conditions seemed promising right where we were, and since I needed to get back to Wichita in the morning I didn't want to put myself too far out of the way.

A couple of "poppers" tired to get going but couldn't. Too much shear. So I decided to break away and get a jump on my trip east. I left Warren and Lisa on the New Mexico boarder and made my way to Liberal KS for the night. Tomorrow I'll meet Joel in Wichita and we'll probably make our way back to the Texas Pan Handle for slight potential on Friday and Saturday.
