Fort Morgan

We took a walk last night along a beautiful paved bike and hiking trail. We were hoping to see some local wildlife but saw nothing.  It was very sticky and hot with threatening skies and storm warnings, mainly for the area north of us, for the rest of the evening and into the morning hours. 

Morning update:

It remained a very hot and sticky all evening and it was the first evening we ran the air conditioner all night long. This morning it started raining, heavy at times, and it is very warm. We saw on the news that there were severe storms north of us last night. It just started raining again with black clouds out the left window and sunshine on the right side.

These clouds developed into storm storms

I may have to cave in today and spend some time visiting a mall or two, perhaps a movie. It is supposed to clear this afternoon.  

Another update:

Yea, no Malls today, the sun has come out and it looks like it may be a nice day after all. We are off to explore Fort Morgan. Fort Morgan was built after the War of 1812 when Congress realized the need for stronger fortifications along the eastern and southern coastlines.
