I've decided to head out to the plains for a short trip this season, last week of April. Will be leaving NC the day after Easter (Monday) and plan to arrive in central OK around noon Tuesday. Planning on heading to OKC for day 1, or another area depending on storms or passenger location. Will be staying until Friday or Saturday, can possibly add a day or 2 at the end depending on the occurrence of promising storms. This will be my first time chasing on the plains, and I find myself lacking fellow adventurers. I wouldn't mind a tag along with hopefully some experience to help with forecasting, navigation, cost sharing, extra set of eyes, maybe help drive, etc. I'll have a laptop running GRLevel3 with internet access through my phone, Sprint service with EVO 4G tethered, state maps, weather radio, etc. I'll be in a Honda Element, so there will be plenty of room for myself plus 1-2 additions and equipment.
About me, I'm 30, married with 2 kids. Smoking doesn't really bother me if you need to. I'm pretty laid back and can get along with most people. I'm clean, so no worries about riding with somebody that doesn't shower. I'd hope anybody considering riding with me is the same way. I listen to a variety of music, mostly rock though. I also just like to ride down the road with the windows down and the radio off on occasion. I can get hyped about storms just like anybody else, but still keep my wits and use common sense. Don't mind getting fairly close, but don't want to get in a dangerous situation either. If using my vehicle, I'd rather avoid muddy roads because I don't care to get stuck. I don't plan on core punching either because I'd like to keep my windows if possible. lol Primary interest for storm chasing is photography/video. I have decent experience chasing locally, and have chased the rare supercell in NC.
I'll even consider meeting up and riding with some body as well and split cost, as long as I can leave my vehicle in a secure place.
Anybody interested, sent me a PM on here and I'll get back with you as soon as possible and we'll see what we can work out.
based out of Toledo here!
. i have room for up to 4 others in my truck. im looking at possibly may or june for a longer chase but any local colorado chases on a sat and sun would be available too.
