Day 2: Continued

Rain...Thunder... Lightening... and the Pit Stop.

We drove towards Lake Louise State Park in the pouring rain. At times, it was difficult to see the road.  It began to clear a little as we traveled West.  We heard a little thunder, and were excited to witness the first thunderstorm of the year. 

Then, unexpectedly, there was a huge, earth-shattering, spine-tingling crack!!. A llightening bolt shot out of the sky and and struck the ground - what felt like - right outside my window (though it was actually out in the field).  I screamed like a little girl!  Adam laughed.  The lightening was so strong, he could feel it in his cavity filling.  I'm sure the windows rattled and the truck shook.  I really don't like storms. 

But, that was it. The storm fizzled out, and we were left with a light drizzle.

We decided to find a place to eat lunch.  We like searching for little out of the way, non-chain restaurants and bar.  Using our awesome gps (thanks Mike & family), we found the Pit Stop, just across the border into Iowa.
