The
morning brought overcast skies. We had planned to go climb at Castlewood
canyon in the morning before driving south, but we knew from the day before
what the clouds were going to bring. |

As
we drove south giant raindrops began to fall, then it began to hail.
The roads in Colorado Springs began to flood. As we sat at an intersection
we watched traffic crossing from
the opposite direction plow through the water. When a Lincoln Towncar stopped
at the intersection water was higher than its headlights! |

We
stayed in a hotel Friday night and packed a Jeep full of gear into four
bags to be checked on the airplane. Saturday we dropped off the Jeep and
boarded the plane. There were many clouds to be seen until we crossed the
Mississippi River. |

After
changing planes in Atlanta, we soon were making our decent into Port Columbus
Airport. From our seat we had an excellent view of the high rise buildings
in downtown Columbus. |

In
the left center of this picture the OSU Horseshoe may be seen. Three hours
after landing we were back home and ready to sleep in our own bed. |
