    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.

    Even though we've driven out there many times the women-folk won't let me camp us there. They're afraid water will get over the road and they'll be trapped for the rest of their lives.

    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?
