Another day, another bout of wind.. this time 65+ mph gusts coming on the edge of the storm I am dodging around.
So was out at 6 AM to beat it. 40s mostly and then 30s at 11,000 feet over the pass. The wind was okay until the last 1.5 hours, then those gusts definitely started up. All the tractor trailer guys were parked and looked to be settling in.
Living dangerously after successfully eating biscuits & gravy 2 days ago, I stopped at a diner and ate a chicken fried steak & biscuit to kill some time until hotel check-in.
At check-in time the wind was realllly getting going, so I’m glad I didn’t dawdle.
Tomorrow St. George Utah, which is a fairly short hop but I want to be comfortable the next day crossing Death Valley. I think most of the dramatic weather should be over.
