Elephant Butte SP, NM – Wednesday October 7, 2015

Last night we had our first lightning storm.  I got one of my new toys (a lightning trigger) out and tried to take lightning pictures.  I didn’t do a very good job.

This is the only picture I got but I think after a couple of hours I have figured out how to use it.

We are in a new campsite today.  We were in a reservation only site and someone else had it reserved starting today.  The weather report for Carlsbad, NM is not good for the next couple of days so we decided to move to a non-reservable site and stay here until Saturday.  In site 52.
Here is our new view.
While Jean was watching TV this afternoon a flash flood and quarter size hail warning came across the TV for the area we would have been driving through.   It is not that it might hail quarter size hail it’s a warning not to be where it’s hailing.
