Holy Mackerel! That's a lot of pictures!

I woke up this morning to a whole slew of emailed photos from Michael. Since there are 100+ of them, I decided that the best option for getting them out there was just to upload them to my Picasa site and link it here. Michael is hoping to get online sometime and comment on the photos, but for now they stand alone. They are in chronological order so best of luck placing them on the timeline of the blog so far. Also, I will continue updating the map each night, so that should also show where the crew are nightly.

Tonight Michael and crew are staying in Loretto Motherhouse, a Catholic convent in Nerinx, KY. This is about halfway to where they intended to get tonight, but Michael said that they were very lucky to get shelter tonight as the storms are rolling through en masse. One already passed today with lots of hail and winds and as he talked he could see one approaching. The lightning in the approaching storm was apparently so good that several times in his message Michael stopped to gasp or just stopped talking because he was in awe. So, they will hold down in the convent tonight and hopefully by morning the storms will be mostly passed so the crew can get down to the caves. Today was 40-50 miles of steep rolling hills and tomorrow looks to be much of the same.
