The wind cries Mary

I'm not sure if the wind actually cried "Mary", but I do know it kept us pinned down in the cabin today. It was howling! Sam said that just like whitetails at home, the elk were not likely to be out moving in this weather. They've most likely found a good place to bed down and stayed there.

Dennis and I did go out the forest road around 3:00 and sat on a hillside for a while. The wind was the pull your hat off variety, and it almost snatched the binoculars out of my hands once. It was carrying our scent across the draw and up the hillside we were looking at, so I doubt anything was ever going to come out of the woods.

At least we have a warm bed to sleep in. This wind would be a real challenge in wall tents.
