Hopefully it'll be warmer this time. Last year was freaking brutally cold. I'm gonna make sure I can make this one. Just gotta make sure I can get off work.

I think that was in February and it was about 30 degrees with a howling wind. But honestly, I'd much prefer that to it being 103 like it is right now!![director]

Your nuts. 30* with like a 30mph wind makes it like 5* outside. Couldn't even sit outside and enjoy a cold beer cause you were shivering so much. No thanks. I'll take the 103* and 99% humidity any day of the week. At least at night time I don't have to huddle 6" from a fire to stay warm. [laugh]

We had some guys TRY to sleep in their trucks that night and a very brisk Norther came thru. They didn't make it.[laugh]


It wasn't that cold during the day. Pretty nice actually!

What are you talking about?? The only night I didn't sleep in my truck was the night my truck wasn't there with me. [laugh]

Not going to say it was toasty and comfortable in the bed, but I survived. I've slept in worse weather.

I know Rowland and Rob didn't make it thru the night.[laugh] They drove home at some point. I didn't remember if you stayed or how you worked out the temps and wind.

And I remember "Romario" (I think that is his name) letting his truck run all night for heat..but he was coming into the camper at like 6am waking everybody up.[dummy][dummy]

I can't promise you a couch. We generally let the, uhhhh..hmmm....ummm...more "Mature" guys with older bones claim those (ie. Charlie, Rowland).

But there is usually some space on the floor. Just bring a sleeping bag and maybe a mat. At least the space will be air conditioned (or heated) as needed for comfort.

Boy that middle pic sure shows the need for Traction Bars to help with spring wrap! If I decide to pull this time...at least my rear tire won't be 1/2'' from the front part of the fender.
