Dollytrolley Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I don't know who brought that stuff down here, but today I was as south as you can get in Texas, and when I left this morning it was 30 when I stepped outside. Actually was in Mexico most of the day and out in the cold late afternoon. Not fun, and I didn't freeze anything on me! It can be very sad when temps plummet South of the border...... I flew for folks with a lot of "assets" in Mexico, Central America, S. Am and when it gets cold and your home is made out of car hoods and cardboard boxes it is a COLD that most folks do not understand.......very sad. Drive on.....(cold can be VERY ...cold) 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of it is foiled backed or strong paper, and doesn't let the air come through their walls! They hunt through the trash piles or cans, or pay a few pesos to the guy who picks up the trash with his donkey pulling the trash cart.

adept99 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Construction Mgr for the HF Mitigation project at the Marathon Refinery, along with a number of other turnarounds and whatnot. Most folks were nice. 1 or 2 of their supervisors were flaming axxhxxxs. Still have my Winking Lizard beer jacket!!! 9 deg, then 17, then 6 deg this morning in beautiful downtown Shepherdsville, KY. Holed up in the house for a couple of days. Glenn, how do you like that campground? We stayed there for a week last May, & liked it very much, but be very careful of the overhanging trees. Pulled the TV antenna off getting to the main road after leaving the campground. Unfortunately, that one was only 1 week old...don't ask....

GlennWest Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 We didn't have but very little water pressure. We actually filled our tank and used our water pump. Water was rusty also. This was about 4 years ago. Hopefully that has been corrected. Loved the area though. Visited the Amish community.

alan0043 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Canton KOA Glenn, I know the one you are talking about. About 30years ago there was a good steak house down there. But they had a fire and it burned to the ground. Not surprising. You needed to see this place. It was never rebuilt. The locals know the area as Bear Creek. If you ever work at the refinery again, let me know. We can meet up if you would like.
