Sunday, May 31, 2015 @ 0800 CDT: After four weeks of chasing, including five tornadoes... numerous funnel clouds... awesome storm structure... massive flooding... hail drifts up to eight inches deep... a venture up Pikes Peak and placing two sandal-covered-feet in the snow drifts... lots of gut-busting laughs... wayyyyyy too much yummy food... and many old and new friends who are essentially my second family now... it is time to begin my journey home. I always have a heavy heart when I prepare to leave, because I don't want to leave my friends, nor do I want to leave Tornado Alley... but I am comforted in the fact that I will only have to wait eleven months and I will do it all over again.

Many many thanks to Charles, John, George, Brad and all of my chase family for making the last month so wonderful. I love you guys!

See you in May of 2016!

Well, after a long day traveling home (but not nearly as long and arduous as most of my cohorts), I am now safely home and desperately in need of sleep. I hope everyone has had (or IS HAVING) a safe trip home. I miss my Cloud 9 family already! *sniff* ...and I'm hoping that Jade's trip is going as well as possible, under the difficult circumstances...

G'night, all... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
