We began today in Lemmon, SD, and we were debating about our chase target for the day. Our first option was to head west and play the NE Wyoming target, and our other option was to completely blow it off and start heading east towards Iowa for tomorrow's good severe weather chances. Ultimately, we decided to play the western target and hope for the best. After we left the hotel, we found an old school building in Haynes, SD. One of the locals gave us some information about the building. We stopped in Hettinger, ND for lunch at C & N Cafe. After lunch, we decided to check out the Enchanted Highway, which has a bunch of gigantic metal sculptures along the route. Eventually, we saw cloud towers going up, so we started drifting closer to the towers. By the time we arrived in New England, ND, the storm was looking beefy. We found a place out of town to watch the storm come to us. One of the guests bought supplies for s'mores yesterday, so we enjoyed s'mores as we were watching the storm. There were times the storm looked like it wanted to produce a tornado, but cold air kept undercutting it. We ended up in Mobridge for the night after driving 309 miles.

Good that you saw the Enchanted Highway. That guy's quite an artist. I forget what year we went that way. Just amazing.
