This was representative of the radar all afternoon: storms to the north, storms to the south, and none reachable from my chosen departure point (Culpeper). Oh, I never made it there as I jumped on a lone storm that exploded over Spotsylvania county …

Not a real surprise, right?
But a couple of words do not probably describe the type of folks that are behind Prison Planet.com.
