    I got a good laugh out of that one!
    And congrats on filling out your travel map. Is that for actually camping, or driving through?

  • They opened one lane today so people could leave or go for supplies. The storm was pretty bad. It was shaking our 5'er pretty good even with 6 stabilizers on the ground. There was 1-2' of sand on the road in places.
