Rich starts us off with instructions.
On the road Platte Center to Tilden. Only bad part of the ride - I put a 1 inch slash in a brand new rear
tire when I ran over a piece of metal on the shoulder
of the highway. Had to boot it with a $20 bill (all I had on me)
in order to finish the ride.
We camped in Tilden on a field by the pool. The
pool temperature was about 78 degrees - shocking when
you first jump in, but great once you got acclimated.
The Broom Babes performing in Tilden - kind of like
a small town version of Stomp.
We were hit by three severe thunderstorms in Tilden.
The first one came at around 9:30 p.m. with quarter to
golf ball sized hail and heavy rain. Fortunately, the
sheriff evacuated us from the campgrounds.
The second storm came around 10:30 and featured
a tornado warning but no touchdown. This third came at
4:30 a.m. with 60 mph winds while we were in our tents. It was
quite the wake up call.

Ah, the circle of death... I assume you observed tent erections?
What did you do when those winds hit? Do tents stay up?
No hilarious tent erections this year, Kew. Nicol, some people had tent poles break or tents rip. Mine was fine - but there were a few times when the entire front of my tent was lying on me while I was in my sleeping bag. You can be sure that everybody was extra careful about how they staked their tents on the rest of the trip.
