Narrative:

Had been making lndgs and takeoffs. The wind seemed to increase. When I made my last takeoff, it took full control inputs to maintain directional control. I asked unicom of the winds and the airport manager informed me that they were a direct crosswind 20 KTS gusting to 27 KTS. I became concerned about landing in those conditions, and made a decision to land into the wind on a taxiway. There were no conflicts with other traffic, and I advised unicom of my intentions with no reply. I have a qualified pilot as a witness, whom was in the airplane with me. We have a grass runway, but the rainfall we have had made it unusable.
