The storm had a very distinct rain free base on the south edge of the rain shaft and was sucking up scud with a vengeance. When the rain/hail shaft approached I ventured onto more back roads, winding up at one spot where the obviously rotating mesocyclone base was directly overhead and a gathering wallcloud was literally a couple hundred yards to my west:
Again avoiding the rain and hail as much as possible I maneuvered my way back to Route 1 and moved further south, finding a sports complex where I parked on a hill with a clear view of the meso and a distinct wallcloud:
The video camera captured the rotation of the wallcloud and I'll post that when I have a chance to edit it. I continued further south as the rain once again caught up with me, winding up at the Carmel Church exit off I-95 to watch as the storm appeared to weaken. I never saw any definite funnels, but I did watch the wallcloud cycle several times. Cool!
