No snow accumulation. Setup is dry, for now. Rain came back into the forecast this week.

Learned this lesson a few years ago. Left a big tarp apron and woke up on a water bed.

Three season 3 person tent. Waterproof liner under tent, moving blanket on inside floor, inflatable mattress and zero bag on top. Only supposed to be 35 degrees w/ light winds all week.

Stove would be nice.

Tent Camping in fresh snow

How do you set up a tent on fresh snow? Forecast is 1-3” of snow the night before set up. Open area, so it will get covered.

Pick a high spot, scrape the snow off, and put a water barrier down? Anything else I am missing (besides booking a hotel room)?

If Glock would make a 30 super carry, that would help establish the round. Rumors but no dates yet.

Likewise… caught sight of him out of corner of my eye. It was 10 yards away moving on me slow and low. It was coming for me. Took me a few a seconds to realize what it was. I stopped calling, then moved and it fled. I would have shat my pants if it came after me.

Tried to see him at Texas Club in late 80’s. Sammy Kershaw opened for him. DAC performed a 15 min magic show then left. Sammy came back on and sung a bunch of DAC songs.

I like Tire Rack for the price and 2 year road hazard included.

This is who pays for other kids to attend school. They select the school because of family or the experience. Select the school where you have the best chance of getting out in 4 years. And if you kid is a high performer, than they should get out in 3 using high school dual credit. Reduces costs by 25%.
