I love that sound of the thunder bouncing off the mountains - but I've never experienced it when it was a real threat. I bet that was very scary. Now I think I'd worry more about my camera than me :)

Just put it around Bill's neck. He'll absorb the lightning and your equipment will be safe.

Yes, exactly...I'm just a day late coming in on all this. John, the story was funny, but the highlight truly is the set of great photos you've posted. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure. Glad you're safe...
