Does Krey have real bathrooms? Maybe even a shower? I ask because I'd
be leaving wherever I stay for Edwards on Monday morning, and I'm
planning on 'camping' in my truck.
Thanks all, again,
Jim


It does, and it does (very manly ones..), and since your used to 40
grit wind (thanks for that term BTW it'll be just like home! The
dry lake is no longer the base of operations (unless you plan on
testing some Predator drones...), but Krey is only about 10(?) or so
miles away from it.

Some really cool folks down that way though, I think you'll like it.
I'd call ahead to see if there are real tiedowns spots available,
cause if not you need to bring rather long rebar or something to
fashion some since the airfield is basically loose-ish gravel for the
first few feet (it's situated on an alluvial fan) on top and normal
tiedowns (even my beloved claw...) have nothing to root into.
