Mike, i drove around quite a bit before i found a cool spot.
But i ended up going down 117th?? or is it 119th?? it starts as
one and switches into another. Anyways it's headed out toward orchards.
East...ly...like hazel dell ave goes in front of klineline, follow that road east until you pass the chevron and then there's that christmas tree place on the right, and there's a church on the left. i was in that church parkinglot.

69, it's cool that you saved 'em ^_^ just don't sell them!

And mx, there's some tricks to taking pictures of lightning and i took maybe fifty to get those. But basically it is all about luck. And i missed alot of the best ones =/

But thanks much for the comments
