Howdy folks, been a while, leaving tomorrow for our first trip with our new Hawk after two months of ownership. We would have been out a lot earlier but sick cat has kept us grounded. Long story. We are actually taking him with us to the Mojave for two weeks because alternatives were worse at this point.
Anyway, I see that the forecast is for stronger than usual desert winds tomorrow between Ridgecrest and Mojave with a wind advisory saying that gusts to 55 are a possibility. So my question is: at what wind speed do you consider not popping up the top and sleeping down low? I'm guessing that winds at that speed will make sleep difficult in any configuration. Always hated windy nights in our tent...
