Kappy, fleece is very warm. It lets no air in so it might be bad to make you sweat. We don't have cold days like you do but we have some. It washes very well. I have a fleece jacket and I love it. I also have fleece pj's that I can only wear when it's very cold.

I miss this story! Maybe this winter ya'll can write about surviving winter in the valley!! Pleaseeeee

Hellloooooo, helllllllooooo, is anyone left in the valley? Did the and someone forgot to tell me?? Missing you all very much

I'm still reading too. I know everyone is busy with real life but I sure do miss reading about their unreal life! Mother I miss reading about you too! How are you feeling? I'm sending prayers your way quite often. Hope you feel much better soon.

A chinook helicopter can haul up to 19,500 lbs. It has a maximum speed of 195 mph or 170 knots. It has a triple hook system to carry heavy loads externally. It can airlift a bulldozer or 16,000 lbs such as an armored humvee at speeds up to 155 mph. It can handle multiple extreme loads and can handle 2 or 3 seperate destinations in one flight. (it could deliver loads to 2 or 3 homesteads in one flight!!!) The cabin can hold 33 fully equipped troops or 24 stretchers. The cabin has 42 cubic meters of cargo space and 21 square meters of cargo floor area-enough to hold 2 humvees. The cockpit houses a crew of 3-pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer. It comes equipped with 3 mounted machine guns and can operate at night and fly in nearly all weather conditions. It has a range of 265 miles.

First, I just want to tell everyone coming here about 6 times a day and seeing if anyone has written anything new is the highlight of my day! I just wish there were more writers!! I love this whole series of stories. All of you are doing a wonderful job and I have learned a lot and see there is so much more that I should be checking into while I still can. I see Daylilly has a pilot coming in with them. Do you suppose there is somewhere in the valley a plane could land with everyone's last supplies??

All you have to do is bend some long canes over and put some dirt in the middle and they will grow roots there.

Westbrook, you can use your waterbed mattress for starting plants if it has a heater. I have a friend with several commercial greenhouses and that is what they use.
