Didn't Get 'The Shaft'

Two backpacking buddies and I saw this large rain shaft in the Chisos Basin from a lofty hiking trail at Big Bend National Park in southwest Texas on May 27, 1984. Although striking in appearance, we all hoped the rain would stay where it was in the park's lowlands because we were in search of a camp site for the night on our two-day stay. It did, and the trio stayed high and dry the entire time.
