Welcome back to the Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show!
Here's the wind data for the airport in Alamosa: www.windalert.com/spot/1096
I'm currently camping about 7 miles east of Alamosa, CO while I finish building my house in Blanca.
What I'm beginning to realize is that Alamosa is an extremely windy city. It's actually super annoying and is beginning to work my last nerve. So, I decided to do some research about the average wind speeds in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado.
There are 6 wind measurement devices in this area that I wanted to show you. My data comes from the website of WindAlert.com, which I find to be more accurate than other sources. Even though these 6 cities are located fairly close together (and aren't separated by any mountains), the average wind speeds vary dramatically!
First, let me show you the six areas I'm gonna talk about. I'm gonna go left to right and top to bottom as if you were reading a book.
What you want to look for in these graphs are the red bars. Those are the annoying windy days of 25 mph and above.
1. Monte Vista
2. West Alamosa
3. Alamosa (airport)
4. Blanca
5. La Jara
6. San Acacio (8 miles west of San Luis)

ABOUT ME:
► I grew up in Kalamazoo, MI and graduated with a Marketing degree from Oakland University.
► I moved to Longmont, CO in November 2016 and fell in love with all the beautiful hiking trails that Colorado has to offer. So, in April 2012, the Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show was born.
► In November 2019, I took a 4-month camping trip in my pop-up camper. This gave me an opportunity to travel, explore, unwind, and create lots of great videos.
► In December 2020, I began recording a series of downhill skiing videos in Colorado. These quickly became popular and my passion for YouTube was re-ignited!
► I actually had so many great memories of my first camping trip that I decided to do another one. So, in April 2021, I converted a 12-foot enclosed trailer into a camper and documented the whole process.
► In June 2021, I reached 1,000 subscribers and was able to monetize my channel.
► By January 2023, I was already at 2,000 subscribers and counting!
► The Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show allows me to share all of my experiences with you. Join me on my adventure as I talk about life, laughter, exploration, and creating content for YouTube...enjoy!

Great info. I too don't love wind. A little is ok but 15 to 20 mph is too much. Heading to Blanca to chk out the area in a week to see if I want to buy land there. How do u like living there in Blanca? Thx u for ur videos.
