Time 7:15pm. Well it would certainly appear that I have screwed the
pooch on this day. There appears to be a nice developing supercell
northeast of Concordia near the NE/KS border…which is where most
storm chasers targeted. Me, I like to be a little risky, and playing
south was a risky move, but it didn’t look overly “hot” in the mid
levels and as such, thought at least one storm would develop along the
dryline. Well, what ended up developing along the dryline was a bunch
of high-based virga. More damn virga. Sometimes a decent storm can
be born from initially a field of virga showers… but that’s usually
a High Plains thing. At any rate, I’ll wander about Hwy 156 corridor
between Ellsworth and Great Bend until it’s obvious I’ve really messed
this one up… at sundown.

May I suggest a trip through Beaver (northeast of Hoisington) and a stop at Mo’s Place for a burger and a Microbrew.
Redwing is on Highway 4 about 5 miles east of Hoisington, go north from Redwing about 5 miles. Mo’s is the tan metal building about 100 feet north of the road in Beaver. Len and Linda are nice people. Len talked me into brewing beer.
