    Now that I think about it, a lot of "firsts" happened on the URE trip. I'll be a full fledged camper in no time if I keep doing TW trips. Lol.

    Well, I'm kinda hoping for no lower than high 40s at night. When I was living in Atlanta it seemed like it didn't really start to warm up until April, but I might not be remembering right. That was about 15 years ago.

    Of course, it's all relative. Before I moved to ATL from FL, 60* warranted a heavy coat and if we had to be outside we were standing around shivering. After 2 years in ATL, 60* was t-shirt, riding-around-with-the-windows-down weather. :D The weird part is, even after being back in FL for 15 years, 60* is still t-shirt weather.

    Spending the first 21 years of my life in FL, I'm still in shorts til the low 40s. Flip-flops til the low 30s. SC is a pretty good substitute weather wise. Except our summers are worse.

    Why, yes...yes you are. o_O Unless my uncle wants to go and then he can tow the OGT with his FS diesel Furd, but that's unlikely at best.

    Yes, but my point was we will have left I75 behind long before we get to I10, unless we wanted to go quite a ways out of the way just for convoy purposes. :confused: So he'd be going Pan Handle --> I10 to I95 (or whatever the JAX bypass number is).

    I never got that acclimated to the cold. :D I'm still in long pants and a jacket in the 40s and below--usually in just a flannel shirt in the 50s. I have been known to still be wearing sandals in the 40s though.

    Actually, Panhandle guys just go north, won't really touch I-10. For us I'm thinking HW 129 instead of I-95 to shave off 50 miles. Only will take 15 more minutes

    Rgr. At that point I'll most likely be just along for the ride so I'll leave the navigating to you. :cool: I figure once we get close and get into the hills, we can probably unload the OGT and I'll drive the rest of the way to ease the burden on Squeaky. If you or any of the other FL folks do some serious damage and the OGT is still roadworthy when we leave, I'd be willing to make the trailer available to the injured party as long as we can find someone big enough to pull it (a Tundra or FS domestic for example) since most of the other FL folks will be running those heavy 2nd Gens. :eek:

    Haha, well, you did survive URE with just an additional body mod, so you'll probably be fine. I'm not as confident the OGT won't grenade something serious, or, god forbid, take a tumble off an obstacle. :eek:
