Status as of May 31, 2006:

All of our fixed-schedule 2006 offerings are completely sold out. Please have a look at our 2007 schedule if you're interested in chasing with us next year on a 6 or 10-day trip.

Legend for the schedule table shown above: "ARRIVAL DAY" - the day set aside for you to travel to the base city; this is the day prior to the first chase day of your tour; "DEPARTURE DAY" - the day set aside for you to depart the base city after your tour has concluded; this the day after the last chase day of your tour. "FIRST CHASE DAY" - the first full day of storm chasing for your tour. "LAST CHASE DAY" - the last full day of storm chasing for your tour. Note: On-call chasing expeditions will be conducted as conditions warrant throughout the spring.


HOW TO RESERVE A SPACE:

  1. Email David to obtain the password necessary to access the relevant online tour agreement (6-day version, 10-day version, Master Class version or North Land Lecture version (see below for descriptions of the various offerings)). The same password will access our 2006 brochure. Both require the Adobe Acrobat reader, freely available here. Carefully read the tour agreement and call David with any questions. By signing this agreement you are completely indemnifying the tours and accepting responsibility for all of the risk that such an expedition entails.

  2. Sign and complete the agreement, returning it to Silver Lining Tours along with your non-refundable $600.00 deposit ($500 deposit for the 6-day or specialty offerings). Alternatively, you may pay the deposit using a credit card (MasterCard and Visa only). Please see Item #5 under Tour Details in the side bar for the necessary details about how to do this.

  3. Inform David (via email or phone) that you have mailed or are about to mail the tour agreement and deposit – at that point your spot is secure.

  4. Make your flight arrangements to/from Oklahoma City (Tours 1 – 3), Kansas City (Master Class) or Denver (Tours 4-North Land Lecture Tour).
