Tornado Zone

One would think we are nuts. We intentionally drove into a major tornado zone. But it was the only way to get to our final destination of KY.  So after waking up up late (we slept to 8CDT) and got on the road by 9:30 we left NE cut a corner or IA and drove across MO. Right into the "zone".  Our camp is onto of a mtn so we are pretty safe from most tornadoes but the T-storms are all lined up and ready to keep us wet all night. At one point the tornado sirens went off and the family went to the camp shelter. I stayed with the animals in the RV.   I road out a storm that looked big on the Doppler but was mild when it hit. It was the start of a long line of storms that will continue through the might. We are safe, for now, and God willing will stay that way. We drove from beautiful morning sunshine straight and directly into the storm zone. We saw the clouds 100 miles away but we drove into them anyway.  That is the nature of our job.
The Park we are performing for had their advert people call and a billboard with our pix will be going up on the hwy outside of Bowling green. Cool. Our first Billboard.
We will be doing some news shows in BG when we arrive as well.
We want to make this a big turn out for the park.
The ANti-Monkey Butt art on our trailers and RV have been getting crazy response. One man told me the road we were on was once part of the Oregon Trail. He said the biggest problem back then was chaffing and baby rash.  We were 200 years late getting there with our powder. I have some video of people's reactions to the art as well as some getting samples from us.  Coming soon.
Cheers, Blessings and sleep tight.
