>>396686OP here. I didn't died. Slept in my van a bit, slept in a hotel a bit--our company gets a discount. The rolling hills of the prairie wetlands are absolutely beautiful--the grass is a very green green, the fields are a rich gold, and the water is the richest blue I've ever seen. The weather has been pleasant and mild, and I get to stand outside all day for my job. However, winter is coming next week. I hope I'm prepared.
