The day
started off pretty normal. It was about 50 outside and clear blue skies. We
didn’t do much early but decided to restock a few groceries at the Walmart in
Woodland Park. On the way back we ate
lunch in town. After we got home I decided to fill our water tank. The water
bladder and pump has been one of my best investments. Later we ran up to the visitor center and
looked around. When we got back both of us took a little nap. Early evening we
were sitting out under the awning. It looked like we were going to get an
evening shower. Well it started out with a little pea size hail but not a lot.
We thought it was going to blow over quickly.
Wrong, it started to come down faster and bigger and we scrambled
inside. It hailed solid for about 20 minutes. Some hail about 50 cent
size. It broke the bathroom roof vent
and damaged the bedroom Max vent. The secondary vent was ok. The awnings and
slide toppers are all damaged and will have to be replaced. The truck was
fine. After it was all over we decided
to go eat supper in Divide. The temperature had dropped from 74 to 43 degrees. I
tied a tarp over the bath room vent. We leave tomorrow so I will make a
temporary repair in the morning.
