Default Crawling at the South Pole

I didn't see a link to this story that's posted on the main page, but it's a great read on running a crawler in some harsh conditions.

We also want to publicly thank Larry for submitting this write-up and photos to RCC as this is a great story!

That is sweet, but Man is that COLD. I would never be able to be out there long. Looks like a great truck though.

Default Larry is the son-of-a-B who started it all for me.

Larry was the one who got me into this godforsaken hobby.
We were stationed at South Pole together last season.
Thanks Larry!
Do you have any idea how much money I have dropped since the summer of 07-08. I have two full on crawlers now, with a third “end all” one in progress. So much for keep the lights on I got plans man.
