How accurate does this weather look (local guys)? We're looking at driving 500+ miles and don't really want to stand out in the cold rain. I don't want to miss my first HuckFest either if the weather ends up being awesome.

Notice. . I did not use the "R" word. . . . .

I'd LOVE to see anyone with an Edge just TRY to T-bone an Outlaw at full speed. . . . . . .

Forgot Liquid Sunshine. Please note no R in there. We won't be able to be there, as I have to teach class this week. Maybe next year.
