No joke! We drove out the 7th to spend a week there, get a few things organized before the move. It was -18 here that morning--I don't think it got above 0 all day. The high was 18 and it was snowing when we came back on the 14th. There, it never got below 45, and made it up to 74 by noon.
Yeah, my fingers are crossed on that one. Hopefully the weather cooperates--if we can get most of the way through Utah, it's smooth sailing. all the tanks except the mantis shrimp are down now, and he'll be making the move with us. We're taking the tanks out of the house this weekend and preparing it for show--not fun.
I think it is too. Fort brag is about 5 hours north on the coast, and Ive heard of vandenburg, but never been there. If you are north of SF, try to make a trip to brag. the caostal town has an old landfill called glass beach, where glass was dumped and smothed over by the ocean. now its like that cute colored goldfish gravel all over the whole beach!!
