Front driven South winds can go nuclear in the spring and fall. Listen for I80 closure due to Semi Truck blow overs and head to Rush for a real spank session. North post frontal clearing winds tend to be lighter than South but steadier. Summer thermals are likely, and can be enhanced by high pressure over Nevada.
Located 50 minutes West of SLC in the Rush Valley, South of Tooele and West of Stockton. From Salt Lake City, take I-80 W toward Reno (16.33 miles). Merge onto UT-36 via exit number 99 toward Stansbury/Tooele (18.79 miles). Right turn at convenience store at end of Stockton next to large flag pole. Follow road over rail road tracks and around the lake to the west side, then through cattle guard. Turn left on dirt wash opposite log cabin. Plenty of parking, right next to the water in the cow pasture.
