Where would you bed?

[greenbear]

With Sandy battering the east coast, I got to thinking... From a biology aspect, what would constitute a good bedding/shelter area from a storm of this magnitude?  Pines and blowdowns perhaps, but what kind of topography would provide cover from the wind, rain, and widowmakers from above?

[Tom Leemans]

Thick cedars atop a hill, on the sunny side of course. That's what the deer tell me anyway.

[Doc Nock]

Lee side I would think... and as it changes, they'd likely move with changing wind directions.

Course, that wonderful hollow hair coat trumps all man's inventions for foul weather.

[Birdbow]

I would think low ground, in the lee of some topography, and in thick evergreens

Marriott or Hilton are my first choices. . . .
   

Lee side,  doesn't have to be a big break,  a few feet in height would send the wind right over the top.
