Rating:
The air mass today seems favorable for some more storms. We head towards the Llano area
in hope to find some interesting stones and minerals. On arrival, there is already a
warned thunderstorm around. It roars and rumbles in the distance. But our main target today is the Llano river bed:  It is an Eldorado for rockhounds. My storm chase and everything else companion Cleo in her element:  You can find, amonst other things, Llanite, which is pretty unique on the planet. Or there are quarz crystals or even arrow heads, if you look closely:  Another thunderstorm is closing in on the area, but we keep looking and digging:  Our finds today:  After the rock haunt, a third thunderstorm is approaching from the west, what a beauty!      Even as we leave the area and head northwest, the storms just keep coming our way:  Todays storms are mostly sub-severe, but we love every single one of them! We are in our element, which gives this day easily a 3-star rating:   |
