May 22nd, 2010

Heavy winds began blowing last night. It's lasted all day making it impossible to set up the one-pole tent. Mads dropped me off in Chinle. After a failed attempt to set camp I decided to stay at the local inn. A wise choice as winds only picked up - 55-60 mph winds. I rode to town to pick up my new camera which had been sent to the local post office. A mask has been necessary to keep the fine particles out. But despite this I still find my breathing to be restricted. Stayed indoor most of the day. Wandered out to see the sunset over some sand dunes near by. Perhaps not the smartest place to go in a sandstorm - my other camera acting funny now....
