We had planned on stopping there on our way east, but hadn't had the time. We got up reasonably early in the morning (for us ;-) and since the trailer was left hitched overnight, figured we could get out at a good time, before the 11am checkout time. After Kelly fixed yet another fine breakfast, we were eating outside at the picnic bench when her Omnipod (insulin pump) started acting up and died shortly afterward. (This has been happening a lot early on the last of its 3 day lifespan, so we were almost expecting it.)

As asgot closer, we encountered some rain and lots of wind! Driving into the park, the wind was really high and we could see what looked like a possible dust storm headed our way. We were following signs to our site when the camp host came driving along the road in the opposite direction and motioned for us to stop. We told him our name and site reservation and after confirming it, he drove his golf cart ahead, leading us to the site. All of the sites in this area of the park are on a hill, so we have a great view of the countryside.7 +As we got close to the park, we saw what looked like small tornados or large dust devils far off to the north.
