    Yeah, well there was a time I would eat fish caught in The Salton Sea, too. Hmmmm, maybe that is what is wrong with me? Anyway, I ain't dead yet either. (Just smell that way sometimes. . .):biggrin_2556:

    That's why the parking on main st. in front of 7/11 has gotten so popular. If your feeling ambitious, any of the RA's in the Canyon is comfy spot to park.

    You smell like you're dead sometimes or smell like the Salton Sea? I think I'd take smelling like you're dead lol.

    Hammer ill bet if ya get a chance to talk to him and he takes a likin to ya--then finally starts to trust ya he'll tell ya the real story--about how he was taught to chain steer axles while he was in Marine Sniper special ops recon school--ona counts--it was the only way they could get their APC down the rocky hills and across the beaches of Columbia&Peru when the had to go in and save Seal Teams six's ##### Again!

    NOAA has modified their winter weather forecast site some from last winter (for the better) might want to bookmark this site for future reference prior to those cross-country loads ..
    http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/winter_wx.shtml

    Also, note that further down the page it deals with freezing rain potential
