Hang in there! I have been one of the "lurkers" watching your posts -- since I am on the West Coast, I had nothing to contribute about camping and travel back East, so I did not post. But I am very glad you are safe and warm.
Although there are a few crabby folks on these forums, the vast majority of participants are well-meaning and well-informed. In this season of thankfulness, I am very thankful for our members and that these kinds of discussion groups exist -- I am old enough to clearly remember the world before the Internet. (I was in my early 40's when I did my first web search!) Some things about the web are bad, but the rapid exchange of information and ideas is just priceless.
Safe travels!
