Note camping near a wind farm is a big mistake unless you like very windy weather. I hiked until 8:00 pm last night and about 12:00 am the wind blew my tent down. I was very frustrated so I packed up and hiked about another mile to a less windy spot. This spot was very calm until I get back into the tent and then the windy really picked up. At about 4:00 am I was concerned the wind was going to rip my tent so I packed up and started hiking. I must say I was a very tired boy today.
