We woke up in Bluff Utah and headed straight for Canyonlands. Our plans were to camp inside of Canyonlands for the night so that we could wake up Wednesday morning, go get our permit, and begin our 100-mile stretch of our off-roading adventure.
The weather forecast looked promising (just a slight chance of thunderstorms and occasional strong gusts of wind for the evening). So we set up camp and began to make some dinner.
Just as we were finishing up part of dinner, we could hear a sound similar to cars zooming by on the freeway…but there was no freeway where we were, there were no cars near where we were…it was the sound of the wind in the distance.
It was the strangest sound ever, you could hear that the wind was coming but couldn’t tell from what direction or how far away it was. It came quickly and came strongly! We started to feel rain drops… at that point we scurried to get everything in the truck and put the fire out before the storm hit us. We headed up on top of the truck into our tent for the night. Luckily it never did thunderstorm, just a few raindrops throughout the night with lots of wind.
