Day 4 Guadalupe mountains

I have no idea if this will post. I have no bars. My hike to Shumard canyon was a killer. Winds were forecast at 70 gust 90. There were a few times I had to just stop and brace myself. I'm not exaggerating about the wind. It was Biblical. I was a wreck when I got to the campsite. I needed water so after all that I had an 1 1/2 hour round trip to the spring. Day 2 I bushwacked for 3 hours to find another spring that eluded me on 2 previous trips. I feel certain that no one  has been there in many years. There is absolutely no reason to go there. Didn't stop me. Temps have been maybe 40 at night and 60 or so during the day. I'm now back at Pine Springs which is the main campground in the park. I'm waiting for my sisters to arrive with the horses on the 3rd.
