70F, 27%.  Low humidity is awesome.  6 easy miles.  I saw a little mountain that I can get to through an unused RV park out in the middle of nowhere.  It has ATV tracks going up so it should be pretty runnable.  Think I will run up there and give it a shot tomorrow.

This sounds familiar - Man goes running into abandoned RV park out in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, I'm REALLY looking forward to reading your post tomorrow.

p.s. What is "low humidity"?

Tom - if I survive I shall tell ye the tale.

Trying to describe low humidity to you would be like trying to describe the color green to someone that's been blind their whole life. It's basically like a magical land where it's Christmas everyday, and everything is made of chocolate.

During the drought last summer it was that dry here. It was awesome. Well, not for the farmers. It would be 100 degrees and I would be fine. 70 @ 27% sounds pretty much perfect. Have fun off-roading!

When going into abandoned RV parks, you should consider taking the Mystery Machine. That way, you can enjoy some HUGE sandwiches on the way.
