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...

That same windstorm was creating a lot of havoc further south on I-80 across the salt flats. Sustained winds over 60 when we drove out to Wendover Friday afternoon. Passed one poor guy with a truck camper crawling along leaning at an angle steep enough I wouldn't have kept going. Put a couple semi trucks on their side, and an SUV up on the center divider. Think he got disoriented in the salt fueled whiteout which you kept going in and out of. We had decided to motel camp this trip and boy am I glad I did. Had we got the fiver out there it would have been a sea sick night at best. Of course City of Rocks is right on the north end of that wind corridor, where besides the possibility of going over you have to worry about poor visibility, and flying debris.
