Time to Head South

We head South on Saturday for 8 days of training on the Bayou's just west of New Orleans. This is a new site for us and the main reason for the change was a bunkhouse at the State Park that was very budget friendly.

The truck and shell trailer take off tomorrow but we had a little digging out to do before hitting the road:

I brushed off the truck two days ago....this is the accumulation since then.

This would qualify as "other duties as assigned by the Head Coach" that appears any time we advertise for a Frosh Coach. We are careful not to go into detail about that part of the job during the interview process. That is Coach Weiss going at it with our new snow blower. Actually, it is usually quite a battle to see who gets to operate the snow blower between Coach Weiss and our Grad Assistant Joe DeLeo. Note in the background that the canal is not frozen yet. More often that not the canal seems to be open when we take off for our training trip but it is ALWAYS frozen when we get back.

Our first few days in New Orleans will be a little chilly with this cold front passing over the country. But by the third day we should get some reasonable training weather.
