Glad to help out. When you get to Watoga, track down Happy Camper or WV; they can point you my way.
I will have a full length pad in my Jeep too. The Ridgerunner is rated to 20 Degrees, so it should be fine down to the mid to low-30's unless you are a way cold sleeper. I have used it to the mid-40's and I was toasty.

See everyone at MAHHA!!!!!!!!!

Will be great camping with you again, CR! See you tomorrow.

Of course, "early" depends on if I have trouble with my back. As in getting it off the bed. One way or another, I have a 3 hr drive and plan on being there before noon.

I'll bring the pirate ship bridge hammock if you like. It is a double layer, and I have thermal material to sandwich between layers. Of course, this only works for one girl, unless they can share. It is a pretty big bridge hammock. You have seen it. It has endcaps in it now.

I'll bring it just in case anyone wants to try it.

Cool Davey. Heck I might give it a go if that's ok..see everypny this evening

Not going to be able to make it. I just don't trust my car right now to make the drive. Wheel bearings are way too noisy & I don't wanna risk it. I'll definitely be at the next one!!

Eyeguy,
I feel your pain. I was on the way, with wife (she camps in a popup) when disaster struck. Transmission cooler line popped out and I lost all my transmission fluid in maybe 800 yards. The location (highway 250 outside of Staunton, VA) was horrible since it was on a steep switchback uphill with no shoulder and no cell phone coverage. Luck was with me since there was an EMT vehicle returning from a call a few cars back. When my Dodge Dakota stopped they jumped out and took action. Super people! They were able to radio for a tow. I had to spend the night in a motel and the next day things were put right at a repair shop. Transmission was OK since I stopped so suddenly. Repair, tow, and motel costs came in around $600. Pretty lucky since if I had lost the transmission it would have been much more costly. Wife did not want to continue to the MAHHA so we went home.
