I bet the valley below, between here and the Lucy Gray Mountains in the middleground, would be an interesting place to explore

The wind up here is strong and almost cold. High winds have been forecast for the next few days out here. Aside from the sound of the wind, it's peaceful up here. I haven't seen any people yet today.
