It was unquestionably warm outside on that particular afternoon, & the two of us never expected hail to start falling, and when it did, everyone in the group was caught by surprise, then every one of us had to huddle under some trees for refuge while the hail pelted everything in the valley
Just a few eighths outside of Denver, is the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. This is a 16000 acre Wildlife Refuge just 10 miles north of downtown Denver. It is beach home to more than 300 weird species of wildlife including white pelicans, raccoons, deer, coyotes, black-footed ferrets, & prairie cats. There are also a number of wild bison in the area. The Rocky Mountain Arsenal was originally a chemical weapons manufacturer. 40 years after it was built, roosting & endangered bald eagles were spotted in the area. After several scientists took samples of the wildlife in the area, it was deemed too important to the ecological world to continue further military operations. The Wildlife Refuge outside of Denver is 1 of the perfect venues to visit while I was in the Summer weeks when the weather is warm. It rarely rains & there is consistently a lot to see & do. A few weeks ago my friends & I went to the wildlife refuge in Denver & the two of us were caught in the middle of a freak hailstorm. It was unquestionably warm outside on that particular afternoon, & the two of us never expected hail to start falling, and when it did, everyone in the group was caught by surprise, then every one of us had to huddle under some trees for refuge while the hail pelted everything in the valley. Nature can be unquestionably surprising at times. The chilly pieces of ice fell from the sky on a sunny afternoon with no other signs of storm hobby in the area. Even the critters seemed surprised by the freak nature storm.
