The Rebel Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 i would but its like a 10 hour drive Yea it's 12 hrs. for me, but it's worth it. When we were there we had one of those little storms blow through. It did just like you described except the winds were 80-100mph. The sky was black as night and it started hailing tennis ball size hail. We were the only ones left in the camp grounds because we were staying the week after the memorial day weekend. I think it was Tues. or Weds. The only thing that saved us was the fact that we were renting the biggest pavillion in the camp ground. We had everything tied down or inside the tents under the pavillion. It's was pretty massive, but we're used to bad storms anyway. We partied on. Later that evening after it had passed, the park ranger came to check on us and was amazed at how well we had survived and how we didn't seem to be phased at all. She told us that 5 tornadoes had just circled around Waynoka. We stayed 2 more days and was sick of the place after 5 days of riding and fightin the wind. We haven't been back since, but we were trying to get it together for this weekend, but it just didn't happen . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
