Red Sky at Night

Tuesday morning John fished from the kayak at the opposite end of the lake and still didn't catch anything. I extended my hike from the day before by 2 miles. Not much to see as it is open prairie land. After lunch we napped, read books, and then drove down below the dam and explored that area more. John found a couple of good places to go trout stream fishing tomorrow.

Just as we were sitting down to supper, another rain storm moved thru the area. Luckily it was short. When the sun peeked thru we witnessed a brilliant rainbow and I actually saw the pot of gold on the opposite hillside. We got a good campfire going and then Mother Nature put on a wonderful light show for us. The clouds were lined with reds and oranges, then the hillside across the lake lit up in bright greens and reds with a dark grey sky behind it. Shortly after that the tallest peak in the east turned bright red as if it were on fire or maybe an erupting volcano. What a wonderful evening!
