Hello everyone,
Day 1 has been a great success! We started our trip at 0630 this morning, leaving the foggy Annapolis region to find clear skies in northern Maryland. We then pushed through the Allegheny Mountains of Maryland and West Virginia, where we saw cloud formation at its finest. After crossing the Eastern Continental Divide at over 2800 feet, we received clearer skies with a few cirrus clouds overhead. A brief trek through Pennsylvania and West Virginia’s chimney brought us to Ohio, with miles of endless cumulus clouds. Weather didn’t start to pick up until we reached Indiana and Illinois, where brief but intense thunderstorms brought down heavy precipitation and hail on our humble duty van. When the ice wasn’t falling on us, we had a moment to view some of the world’s largest objects in Casey, IL. After pushing through another hail storm we found dinner at the wonderful Niemerg’s Steakhouse in Effingham, IL, where we debated how to properly pronounce ‘pecan’ and discussed our plan for tomorrow. Stay tuned for more weather updates throughout the week!
