we were going to leave.

Looks like we are going to wait out the wind for a couple days... We have checked out the weather up north and it is not looking good now ,, lots of wind and may rain in NV. so we are going to wait until after the low front goes through and the wind settles down again,. Not good to drive in 4o mph winds.. so will let you know what happens now... Later,,,

Grind Holes near the town of Bouse, Very old.
