departure delayed due to wind

wind

I was planning to depart early this AM for Capitan but the high winds aren’t listening to the forecast.

update

I decided to head into Alamogordo to do my errands/reprovisioning. If the wind stayed obnoxious I’d finish up and hide for the night in town. If the winds calmed I’d carry on to Capitan.

The headwind dropped to ~10mph by noon so I drove in to Capitan. MPG was noticeably decreased even though I put the cruise at 55. I estimate it cost me an extra $6.50 in fuel.
