    Lesson Learned

    Cdogman, Wow glad you found that little piece wisdom (Digital pressure gages). I have always be a pen stick gage type of guy. Whenever I loose faith in the gage or just plain loose the damn thing, I go to my local Auto Zone and start looking at their most expensive digitals. I get the salesman...

    Hey Drew, Are you doing the whole trip Friday through Sunday? I was luckily enough to find S76 offering to share his reservations, it would have benefited us both cutting the cost in half for this trip, but if I am back to square one, the first night at Natural Bridge would bust my budget wide...
