Yes! Lots 'o wind, yup. 

Which reminds me of a very important piece of advice: I late summer, hike 
from North to South. You will most likely have the wind at your back!

You can take buses/taxis to avoid quite a bit of road walking. I know, to 
some, that is cheating. But, does the shoulder of HWY 101 really count as 
a trail?
