Sunday we drove through heavy storms in SW Kansas, our detour due to road closure at Lamar, CO. We had to go right down along the squall line and the wind was impressive , even for us from Wyoming. Local radio stations were blowing up with Tornado warnings and hail warnings all around the area we drove through.
That wind caused the almost blackout blowing dirt storm at Amarillo. We literally could not see ahead of the truck and at one point and the spouse had to drive on the shoulder by looking in his side mirror at the stripes besides us. Trucks and cars were stopped in it, thankfully we drove out of it instead of sitting and getting sand blasted.
That wind blew down a big old native pecan in the river bottom of the family place. Another bigger old pecan blew down just the week before too across the ferry road on the same bottom.
Both are probably 200 year old trees , maybe older as the witness oaks for the ferry are 300+.
We cut some green smoker wood from each.

Last evening of our hunt had some nice turkeys come by, at 50 yds while we sat in the truck waiting out a thunderstorm.

Drought has taken a toll but things are springing back a bit with the rain.
The little bluestem is about 2 ft shorter than usual.
Ticks are out but no snakes this time down.
