Chasecation June 5th - 10th 2011 Day 2... the 7th


Since storms were expected to be in North Dakota into Minnesota we opted to not go tearing after them only to come tearing right back for tomorrows event (which we still hadn't nailed down).  So, we took the day off from chasing and simply went site seeing in the Rapid City area. We visited Sturgis, Devil's Tower, Mt. Rushmore, and the Badlands.

Unfortunately James' National Parks pass didn't get us into the parking lot at Mt. Rushmore so, we simply dove on by without snapping a single photo. The faces were in deep shadow any way.

These will be larger images since the small "for web" versions just can't do the scenes justice.





Couldn't upload the large version of this next one.




It was nice to see some spectacular scenes without having to be rushed for a change.
We stayed the night again in Rapid City and then headed out early the next morning for Colorado to chase upslope storms.
