Default Mother Nature at her Finest

Taken yesterday at the height of the storm system coming through Vt's Northeast Kingdom.

Pictures of this super cell taken less than 5 minutes apart.

This is from the front door of "Grouse Camp"

(photographed by Diane Simons)

Dean, that is scary looking stuff Especially here in the Northeast. Hope there was no damage to camp.

I wish I could go to "Grouse Camp" in the summer. I am soooo tired of going to work. It lloks beautiful there, bet that same picture in the fall would be spectacular.
Maybe you should have challenged Mother Nature by running into the eye of the storm waving a 16 hammer gun.

I don't know of any place nicer in the fall than Vermont (except maybe NH)

Maybe the UP. Actually, any place in the fall with a Parker in hand, a good bird dog( a setter in my dreams), and some birds to hunt is where I want to be.
