| Wounded Knee, SD |
We began the day in Cozad, NE, and our goal was to start working our way north. SPC had a risk of storms highlighted along the NE/SD border. After our briefing, we headed north up to Callaway, NE and continued into Broken Bow, NE via Broken Bow Road. We had a pit stop and continued north on NE 2 into Thedford, NE, where we had another pit stop. From there, we headed north on US 83 into Valentine, NE, where we had lunch. After lunch, we headed west on US 20 into Merriman, NE, where we had another pit stop. We also lingered there for a bit to see what the weather was going to do. Our group found a friendly goat tied to a pole, and it seemed happy that we untangled its rope. Soon, we were heading north on NE 61 into SD, where it turned into SD 73. We continued north into Martin, SD, and we headed west on US 18 until we turned north onto SD 27 into Wounded Knee, SD. We were tracking a storm just to the west and north of there, so we took SD 28 out of Wounded Knee to investigate. Sadly, it did not look good, so we decided to head back east to investigate some new development. We blasted east on US 18 into Vetal, SD, where we had another pit stop opportunity. Storms were still looking bleak, but we were hoping that lightning would be good enough to give us a show later. We found a side road on the border of Bennett County and Todd County to watch the lightning and the gorgeous sunset. This was also the line of Mountain Daylight Time and Central Daylight time. We hung around for a while until the set went down and the lightning was no longer worth photographing. Our destination was Murdo, SD for the night, and we drove 499 miles.
