Wow! Come Back Toto!
So, off upon the trail we started, with high hopes for a relaxing weekend of birding, reading books and being away from work. Winds were forecasted to pick up and be gusty, so I was prepared for a bit...

Around here the winds are the rule rather than the exception. I was camped at Waterton Lakes National Park one night, was not bad when I went to bed but around 5am the camper felt like someone stole the truck and were driving it down a dirt trail as it was rocking so bad. Finally got up and moved to a day use area that was sheltered. Found out later that the winds were 70mph plus that night.
The worst drive was one day coming back home and the winds would hit the side of the camper with so much force that no turning the wheel would keep you in your lane. I thought for sure that the gusts blew out a window in the camper as I did not think anything would survive that.
We have truck alerts around us that advise the semi drivers to pull over when the wind is too strong, I would not want to be on the road during that!!!
