Last night's wind storm, which is still alive, blew a dusting of sand into my tent overnight, and kept me from sleeping well

Awake at 8h, I'm a bit chilled, since the overnight temperature dropped down to freezing and the rain storm added some humidity to the cold air. Still, I'm looking forward to today's hike into the Newberry Mountains. I think.
