No real severe threats within reasonable driving distance today, so went after run of the mill upslope stuff in Colorado. Probably would've stayed home if I was based in the Plains, but with how desparate I was to see an actual CG and with how little time I had on the Plains, I had to go after anything the atmosphere would offer me.

YES!!! I finally get a CG on tape!
	This storm sported a nice beaver tail for at least 30 min before outflow from storms to the south tore it apart.
"Look, Clem! That dumb chaser who came all the way from California just to see himself a tornader fell into our trap. He shoulda knowen that we was gonna tear up a couple of 10-mile sections of highway between Springfield and Lamar to keep thems yahoos from speedin through our area. Who do them chasers think they is, anyway? Ya know Clem, one of these days one of them chasers is gonna be beaten up by hail or sucked up by a tornader in our trap. Serves them SOB's right."
	You know, I wouldn't be surprised if someone really did suffer at least hail damage one of these days while stuck in that massive road destruction zone on US 287. Some new development fired on this outflow boundary just east of the highway near Two Buttes. This storm went on to produce 3/4 inch hail. But I wonder why we couldn't get to this storm???
Oh yeah, now I remember.
	Gas was pretty darn cheap in Granada CO. You have to pay almost twice as much to get gas in some of the rural, hilly parts of California.
Our storm over Two Buttes fizzled about as quickly as it went up. There was still 8 minutes to go on a severe thunderstorm warning for this convective debris.
	Sunset some revealed a little bit of mammatus over Lamar.
