....ya-but, West Va is about a thousand miles south of Vermont. I'm thinking
that even though the elevation may be similar, the lattitude's gotta make
winters a bit milder. That and you surely get (got) more hours of
daylight... ;-)

Jon,
yep you are right about the short summers, this one is living up to that. My
main concern is about the salt and constant cold especially on the windows.
I am going to use one of the plans online to build a Hard Top Holder for
the garage ceiling.
Thanks

Don't be fooled..they get some pretty brutal weather at higher
elevations in West VA and MD. I came down from upstate NY and was
surprised at them Jeeping with the locals.
