    Good point. To bad the winds are bad here.

    I might push on to the Wyoming welcome center just so I can say I made wyoming (and there's no bathroom here once the diner closes a half hour ago o_O )

    This wind is crazy. Just parked here it feels like and sounds like a gorilla jumping on my catwalk

    Get out and walk now and then. Make sure to wear nothing that will be taken by the wind out there. Don't play no pain mr. tough. It will turn you into a real medical issue tomorrow.

    Looks like winds are expected to die down this evening and won't pick back up until tomorrow mid morning but they won't be as bad tomorrow as today. However, one has to be very careful when walking into those winds. Real easy to get a scratched cornea and debris in the eye. And my pitted windshield can tell you what a quick dust/debris storm can do to windshield glass.

    Point west by north into it. OR get into a middle of a row closest to the truckstop building. Pointing into it. If's really strong point your ### end with tandems all the way back. Call it Lepton1's gambit. and your landing gear down with a specially ductaped note all over your windshield glass addressed to yourself to raise the #### landing gear.

    That grill at Little America made the best burgers. Always liked stopping there.
