The trip starts to wind down . . .
Our chasing days were over. We had taken one last shot, and it hadn't worked out. Once we got back to Elk City I was kind of glad that the chasing was all over. Maybe I wouldn't have felt that way if we'd been in the thick of things for two straight weeks, but that was the furthest thing from the truth. It was good to know that there would be no more waiting in sweltering hot parks, and all that we had left was a little more sightseeing and a little relaxation.
The Elk City Holidome was a pretty cool place. I felt like I was back in the 80's when I walked in, but it was still nice. We didn't take advantage of the indoor putt-putt immediately, as we were hungry. Once we all got back from dinner I was really hoping to get to hang out in the pool/hot tub area, but as had been the case for most of the trip, we didn't get back in time to take advantage of it.
We did get to take advantage of the putt-putt the next morning, though. It was an epic battle. My friends Jason, Dominic, and I played a round and though there were three of us, it didn't take long for the chase for the championship to come down to Jason and I. It was close the whole time, and at the end of 18 holes, we were tied. That didn't last long, though, as I missed an easy putt on the first playoff hole and lost by one stroke.
After putt-putt and breakfast we headed towards Oklahoma City, which would be our last overnight stop of the trip. The trip was fairly short and uneventful. We didn't have any rogue supercells pop up to tempt us to chase one more time. When we got to Oklahoma City we headed straight for somewhere I never thought I woud ever see: the Oklahoma City Memorial.

I am going to buy a weather station.
It is a toss up between a Wireless Davis Vantage Pro 2 or a La Crosse WS-2310 TWC V.2 Wireless Weather Station.
I know the Davis has rave reviews, not sure I want to spend the $$.
Does anyone have a LaCross they are happy or unhappy with? Share your thoughts?
I trust you guys - any insight will be helpful in my final decision....... also - wanting software that will link it to my home network.
Thanks!!
