    My favorite airport is PHX....cause they have a couple of very good local restaurants in them. This assumes of course I have ample layover time.

    @northGAcock you must live in the pit of hell because every time you post the count down clock to BB18 it always has a severe weather radar at the bottom.

    I'm not blaming the ground hog.  His run thru the winter up here, while colder than last year was relatively light in the total snow department until the First Day of Spring when we got hit with 8" of the stuff.  Granted not like 2017 but in the grand scheme I'll take it as we also didn't get a whole lot of the freezing rain/ice that is popular when winter temps run around the freezing mark for a great majority.

    For the cabins, will we need a sleeping bags and/or bedding?  I do recognize that passing out in a chair is also an option at BB18 thereby not needing said appropriate bedding. 
    @thetrim my reservation list said there’s basically nothing in the cabin. Or anywhere. BYO Everything. 
    Thank you!  So that means pack your poncho liner!
    I will try to remember to bring a portable black light (UV) to shine in the cabins before you use them.  Nothing like a little nightmare fuel before hitting the hay in what I predict will look like a CSI scene...

    So was @CTMike trying to tell us it's 12 days away or was he just looking for a reason to post that particular picture?  Maybe he's on Navy time.  Always late to a fight.

    Isn't this a better picture for today?  More accurate for sure, but I don't think it will get the vote for better.
