50 mph wind gust..Whee!!
On our trip out West we ran into 20 to 30 mph head and cross winds. I accually turned off the Interstate so I could drive at 35 to 40 mph.
In Las Vegas we decided to sit out a desert dust storm in camp.
Wind has reduced my mileage from a normal of 10 mpg to as low as 7 1/2 mpg, though typically it is closer to 9 mpg.
Today we were traveling due east with a stiff due west wind. The trailing gusting was no worse than a truck bump but the funny thing was the 20 to 30 mph tail wind gave me 12 1/2 mpg.
I doubt that will ever happen again but it made for a fun day.
As they say, "The wind can be fickle."
