That helps to know it’s in a hidden location easily walkable from the RPG, Cabriolet and the Bubble.

The rest of PC had some lines today though, especially since a big storm rolled through mid-week. Hopefully winter is picking up.

This line is probably alot easier to design low than the Base to Base lines was.

Are the cabins the Diamond EVO, given the sliding doors and that they look slightly different from RPG?
