ivanrockon 0 #26 July 3, 2003 It depends on how tired I am or how dark it is after my sunset load since we don't have lights on the packing area. Ivan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laurel 0 #28 July 3, 2003 I loath packing. Isn't that what serfs do? Just kidding. I do have someone else pack my rig, though, because there are a few things in this world I do not like to do - make my bed and pack my rig......................................................................
