Wow another entry. What a roll!
Just thought I'd mention that it was so windy at our stop for lunch that I almost lost my Guinness hat over the cliff edge. They warned everyone that if something blew off to just let it go as they obviously don't want someone falling off the cliff unless they are in their Jeep. So the wind gets a hold of my hat, blows it about 20ft away and then it sits there before sliding towards the edge. I move towards it, time slows down, I hear people calling out "let it go" and "he's gonna go over the edge", people look away in fear of what they are sure is going to happen. I get near the hat which has stopped sliding and I scoop it up safely. I am 30 or 40ft from the edge. Everyone cheers (at least in my head, or maybe that was just me cheering...) and I know I would have stopped before following it over the edge. It is just a hat after all. Hardly, it's my Guinness hat.
It has been windy for the last couple of days, and it's been going hard tonight. Hope it stops or keeps blowing east while we are heading home. That would help the mileage out. Speaking of heading home, there is a big storm hitting the mountain passes we plan on going through to get home. Keep the fingers crossed that they get it cleaned up before we head out. They are calling for at least 20-30cm in the next 24hrs in Vail. Hope that's all.
Life is good. We will get through. We are...
