A weather advisory for all those heading out to RRX 5

[Tremor Therapy]

Attention to all those heading out to RRX 5,
I have been watching the weather service reports the past few days, and they are predicting 20-35 mph winds throughout the desert and have issued a small craft advisory for Lake Havasu in particular! I have been at work since about 6:30 am, and there was definately some wind here in Northern SD! So for all those from SoCal heading out accross the desert tonight (like me), please be careful. Getting there safe is the deal, getting there fast will be a problem! The winds are supposed to die down over the weekend, so lets get there safe and party tomorrow!
