I wish I could say that they haven't, but...
And I'd bet you drove the haul road in the spring, summer or fall.
Winter is easily the preferred season. It freezes Flat!
Glad you had a good time. If you ever make it back, drop me a line.
They still have Great pie at the Hilltop Truck Stop. :wink:

Oh, and Rent a Wreck? Well, like they say;

Makes for better stories, too!

And just to keep things on topic, here are some heat pad pics:

This is just a 25 watt pad, but you get the idea.
A good, clean surface, some orange high heat silicone

Thanks for the details, BEJinFbk. Didn't even know these pads existed at all. I was able to locate some 120V-rated on ebay. As I need 230V versions, I still have to search a little bit. Or I could just get 2 of them and wire them in series...
