We had a great spot to camp, but we were under a Red Flag warning: winds with gusts up to 40 mph. This campsite is perfectly flat with a huge crater in the center. Not one bit of protection here from the wind. In reality, the winds were probably 40mph sustained with gusts higher than that, and the gusts were almost constant. We turned the RV so that it was pointed into the wind and that helped. I was grateful that we had levelers, which seemed to stabilize us. Ron and Sammy slept well. Me, not so much! This morning, the winds have died down somewhat.
Today we climbed 2 miles of gravel road over the mountain: steep, narrow and one lane with few places to let another car pass. (Moki Dugway). Stopped at Natural Bridges National Monument. These bridges were discovered by a miner in the 1800s. Beautiful scenery everywhere. We were concerned about getting a campsite without a reservation, but we pulled into Singletree, Dixie National Forest, and there were only 2 other campers when we arrived. There are still patches of snow on the ground. AND IT SNOWED!
