Tl:dr: Day Of Rest, holy cow Thunderstorm!
Thunderstorm – the locals say this was a 20 year storm.
Taking a day to heal up a bit and recover. Stayed the night at an adequate Super8, switched to a hostel this morning. Did a bit of shopping at Walmart.
Took a walk around town: on the surface it’s gothic industrial desperate – seems like more Garage’s than people plus a train depot.
But at closer inspection there’s a little something going on. Blake’s lotta burger had charming folks, Gas Up/Mt. Taylor coffee shop was cool, even the little convenience store was kinda cool (low key awesome in the contemporary vernacular).
But the real drama of the day is: Thunder storm.
I knew it was coming. I’ve been out in bad weather before. But nothing, nothing like this. Huge hail stones, felt like an inch of rain in about 20 min. It briefly tailed off, and then… Just kept coming!
