Thought I would add a personal story regarding winds in the Anza-Borego Springs SP.
Last year in March, we parked by the water tower near the train tracks at the end of the Montaro Wash road as we hiked in to see the Goat Canyon trestle. That night the winds were so strong, we couldn't sleep as the Outfitter was rocking so much. My wife thought the truck was going to flip over.
I dropped the top, drove into the wind and made up the dinette bunk where we slept kinda.
I always have a lot of respect for desert winds. (Pictures and write-up in "Some Like It Hot:part 1") in our blog.
