You always hear on the news about big hail. "as big as quarters" "as big as golf balls".
Well, we experienced them as big as ping pong balls. And three of our four skylights in our RV were broken as a result. RV glue and heavy vinyl is our stop gap (literally) fix until we can find an rv supply store.
We are in Lincoln, NE. We woke up in Laramie, Wy to 39 degrees with a wind chill of 31. Layered three shirts deep we took off east...into the dark clouds of eastern Nebraska.
The trip was mostly uneventful except after we arrived here. (the picture above is Laramie last night. It was so cold and the wind so strong I gave up walking Tator tot and i took the shivering pooch back to the RV.
We've been video taping more than still photo shooting so in a week or so keep an eye out for the video...including the hail that broke the skylights.
For the most part gas is cheaper than Cali. We've paid as low as 3.45/gal. But occasionally there is that one station in the middle of nowhere that has to give Cali a run for her money.
Amelia was car sick and used the RV sink to rid herself of her stomach contents a few times. Titus woke up at 4AM so Victor Jr. got no sleep so he slept in the back of the RV most of today.
Ryan, the intern, is working out very well. He is volunteering to do just about everything and though he can't drive he is keeping James awake and alert.
Not sure if it will publish that way but the pictures seem to be a bit distorted (squashed up). Maybe the connection at this camp...not the greatest. But I am grateful we have it...I don't have to use my phone's hot-spot data (that can be expensive).
Little girl on my lap...peek a boo.
attack of the poodles.
These hail stones were from the first storm....only big pea size. We videoed the larger hail.
Below is a picture of the dammage from one of the skylights. A little rv glue and heavy vinyl and we made a patch (not shown). Camping World here I come. The hole below is 3.5" long. The hail stone was ping pong sized and took 30 minutes to melt in the skylight screen in area. drip drip drip.
This is our national symbol. I've seen it in every state. And out of respect everyone slows down to pay homage to it.
