I guess the FBO staff there were used to this kind of thing. Two of them
ran out to my plane, grabbed a strut each, and helped me taxi to the
tiedown spot. Good job too, because there was no way I could
taxi crosswind in that sort of wind.

Having the FBO guys act as mobile tiedowns is a fairly regular
occurance at for high-wing pilots at some of the windier airports out
west. It used to happen to me all the time when I was flying Cessnas.
Since I started flying a Cherokee, it hasn't happened once. There's
something to be said for a low center of gravity and a wide gear
stance.
