Default How's the comp site?

The last update I saw posted about the comp site was that there was 7 feet of snow there. Since we are now counting down the days until the event what does the event site look like? Do we need to bring snow shoes? What about mud boots?

Got any pics?

So is a couple feet of snow expected to melt and dry out in the next 15 days?

That sounds better. Should we tie ropes to our rigs when we are on the courses near the water so they are washed away?

yes, but there may be too much mud on the 1:1 road to get there.

no I have scale bridges made for the big crossings, you can drive through the small creek crossings.

So are you still going to hold the event there? Not to be a party pooper but I don't want to drive 1800 miles to get my car stuck on the way to the event site, then stand around in snow all day.

In May I am usually sitting outside in the evening with shorts and a t-shirt in about 75 to 80 degree weather. We go from -5 degrees in January to 105 degrees in July. I am used to both but dislike the cold much more then the heat.

I hurt to bad in the cold to enjoy it, to many broken bones in my life.
