Doncha jes hate it when Drury is right ?
I know I do.

I don't think too many of us would have much of a problem working through the SCTA to get rooms.  It's sure a better situation than the current one!  It also might give them more leverage over controlling behavior that supports our interests.

Bob,

I think you are right on with your comments. The Casino/Hotels would much rather have gamblers filling their rooms. Friday and Saturday they would much rather cater to the gamblers, but Sunday through Thursday should be days they would appreciate the racers. Another issue that I'm sure bothers at least the Management @ the Nugget was all the hot rodders that blocked the front and sides of the Casino on Friday and Saturday nights. Last year the police showed up and tow trucks moved in.

This is probably the right thread to post this comment, but I had to add my 2 cents.

I might be spending the first few nights at the bend in the road this year.

Back to the topic on salt, I would have gladly unloaded the 300#'s of salt from underneath my Dually last year. I remember if 2000 there were guys at the end of the road with a big water tank and high pressure washers to clean rigs leaving the Lake Bed. The amount of salt hauled off the lakebed has to be infintesimal, but every little bit helps.

Pardon me for posting this: There's lots of "room" in those old derelict Army barracks in W. Wendover.

More seriously though: There's thousands of acres of "room" to camp up in the hills to the west and north of "the bend in the road". But bring plenty of bug repellant if you're going to camp up there.

"Does it work for rattlesnakes?"

That's Way Up North practicality. I can imagine he is an authority on biting insects.

Our home is situated on 60 acres of forest and swamp.  We could supply the protein needs of a few developing countries if we could figure out how to capture and export the mosquitoes and cluster flies and ladybird beetles that let us live on the land with them.

.....out how to capture and export the mosquitoes and cluster flies and ladybird beetles that let us live on the land with them.

Exactly the reason he likes winter and snow so much.  When was the last time you saw a mosquitoe and snow at the same time .

I don't seem to have a problem with the above mentioned pets- I mix malathion and diesel fuel & use an airforce splus deicer pump to inject mix into exh on lawn mower- fogs my 10 acres of woods in short order = no pets - guy who gave me this idea mixed malathion in gas of his mower and ran it through eng- mine is diesel and never had guts to mix in diesel/waste oil fuel-hence the exh injection method. Makes a real nice fog @ sundown when there is no wind.

As is the big problem with the Save the Salt project, the real result and objective is easily forgotten and the effort is set off course.

Now back to your regularly scheduled entertainment.  

[SPARKY]

Jack you are entertainment--- and you stay on line  -- so you must be returning

[JackD]

Actually I never left and  would hope the LSR event doesn't either.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Russ, when I was a kid my dad hooked up a one-gallon drip can on the handle of the lawnmower and a hose to the exhaust pipe.  He'd mix a cup or so of DDT with kerosene in that one-gallon can and let it drizzle into the pipe, making a fine fog that did wonders for keeping down the bugs.  I suppose I did manage to inhale a good ration of DDT while I pushed the mower...and now we all know why my daughter has webbed feet, and why the eggs from the neighbor's farm had shells that were really easy to crack.  Would Malathion have been a better choice?

[RidgeRunner]

Slim, That lawn mowing explains a lot about you - I always wondered 

 I grew up on a lead pipe water supply.  The bride has always said I was strange and had weird friends 

Looking forward to getting down to Maxton end of March
