That is good advice on the cactus! Will keep that in mind.

Curious to know what you mean by the snow working in our favour? I'll be thrilled if there is some positive in the snow!

I should know better than to believe a weather report 4 days ahead though. Who knows what it will really be like. Maybe the warmth will hang on for a couple more days then they thing.

Did a lot of research on the outfitter. Seems very good so I hope it works out.
