We Arrived in Moab, went to dinner at Christina's, then drove out to Castleton Tower to camp.
The wind picked up all through the night
The next morning the wind continued to get worse and by the time we made breakfast it was blowing our chairs over and the sky was filling with dirt.
Bessy and Castleton.
Scrambled eggs with onion, cheese, and sand.
The wind blew all day with gusts over 40mph so we decided to watch a movie. We saw Men in Black 3. Krystina and I hadn't seen a movie in a theater in almost a year. When we came out the sky was still red with blowing dust. Brian, KP, and Kevin were coming down to meet us and go to Indian Creek but the forecast said gusts of over 60mph in the Creek and only 40mph at Castleton... So we headed back there.
Brian and KP got there just at dinner so we all piled into a tent and cooked diner out of the wind.
The next day we thought the wind had died down and decided to go climb Castleton. Brian and KP left out first thing in the morning and we waited for Kevin to get there. 
When we got to the base what had been a gentle breeze in camp had turned into full on blasting wind up high and the rock was crazy crowded. Brian and KP had decided not to climb so we all hung out for a while and then headed for Indian Creek.
Jumping into heavy gusts. Kinda fun...

We did boulder an easy hand crack at the base just to have something to do before heading down. Even though we didn't get to climb we had a really good time just hanging out.
Heading Down
