Here in the Weaver Mountains, there is always a breeze blowing in either dust or clean dry air.  Lately there have been some strong breezes, around fifty miles and hour.  Don't expect your hair to stay combed here.  One has to be very careful about building a camp fire.  It is so dry here a fire can start easily and will spread out of control very fast.  No fire is built here unless the wind is very still. to none; only in a fire ring and no vegetation nearby.  Always keep a shovel and sand close to the fire if needed. use it.  There is no water available in this desert to douse a fire.  The best way to put the fire out is totally cover it with sand and dirt.  Saw a horned toad lizard crawling on the fire pit rocks.  A big one that squirts the paralyzing blood from its eyes at the enemy.
