June 25-27 5-10 mph NNE winds blew in, switching to NW by 10:30. By 11:30,
(cont.) big thunderheads were visible over the Sangreas, and then steadily

almost continuously after 14:15, associated with gusty variable

14:30 to 16:30 & a light shower from 17:20-17:30. A heavier rain
began falling at 21:50, while I was breaking camp, and continued
as until I left.
