Howdy yourself. You're right about the wind -- it came up early this afternoon and is still blowing like crazy. We tied down and took down and locked up and headed for town. The NOAA weather showed 28 gusting to 37 mph winds from SSW, with gusts as high as 60 forecast for tonight. It was blowing so hard that we could barely see the timing tower from our pit -- a distance of about 2,000 feet or so. Once we were on the road by the truckstop we were looking across the wind, so to speak, and the dust cloud was very visible from that side.
As for pictures -- I didn't take any today, but do intend to use the camera quite a bit tomorrow and post some photos. I'll probably put them here (in the Forum) as I haven't been able to make the photogallery work yet (and neither has Bob, our web elf). We'll keep trying -- but in the meantime, yes, I'll take shots and post them.
Dang, the trees outside the window here are really waving in the wind. Must be 25-30 mph -- and we're in town. I'm glad we tied stuff down out there on the Salt. Maybe Nancy and I will go back out for a quick look-see later -- to see if the trailer has moved downwind. Check the forecast for tonight and tomorrow -- and then note that it gets better by Saturday afternoon.

Wow -- I stand corrected. Winds are now 35-40 from the NW.
