Driving in snow

[Gardner Yeaw]

Jeff, Tom,
Thanks for the input. I hoped it would handle reasonably. I don't
expect serious snow or I wouldn't go. But flurries and maybe slightly
more are in the forcast for the Lake George area. I will leave on
Friday and stay near the Gore Mountain Ski Area (power but no water
or septic)and return on Sunday. Sunday is supposed to be sunny and in
the 40's. Salt and some pink stuff in the holding tanks should keep
them from freezing, I hope. From Ernies experience I plan to put pink
stuff in the shower drain after every use. I also plan to bring a
heat gun to thaw the tank drains if needed.
